Okoboji has student email. We host it ourselves using hMailserver. It is for acedemic purposes only and I closely monitor it. Every email incoming and outgoing, goes to a folder in my email account and I check it at least once a day or so. Violations of the acedemic use stipulation causes loss of email privileges. We don't have many issues since the kids know I check it often. It is quit handy for communication an since we do not allow flash drives, it is really the only way for the students to transfer files to home and back.

Here in Pocahontas we are in the final stages of implementing our 1 to 1's and just trying to tie up some loose ends. Thanks Phil Trimble IT Director Pocahontas Area Schools 712-335-4848
