Re: [info-tech] Questions of student email

[George Tuttle]

When we first installed a network, we reviewed student email and decided that the educational value just wasn't there in comparison to the possible problems.  Since our students didn't have email from the git-go, it has never been an issue for them.  Whatever you decide to do, be sure that it is technologically possible.  Also, we have board policies that curtail the use of email by students.  This sounds kind of tough and cold, but I must follow these board policies.   George Tuttle Technology Consultant Pocahontas Area Schools [EMAIL PROTECTED] P 712 335-4848 F 712 335-3420 ----- Original Message ----- From: Vicki Johnson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 2:05 PM Subject: [info-tech] Questions of student email Our school district is trying to decide which way is the best way to go as far as email for students.  I have heard that some schools have no email at all for the students.  How does this work.  We have talked about email for 8-12 graders, and no hotmail,etc.  My high school students would rather have hotmail, etc instead of the school email.  Give me some input as to what your school district does.
