This lesson can be taught low tech or in a high tech setting. Also teachers can modify this lesson for 4-6th grades by using Brianpop Video (emails) then having each student compose and send out an email to the classroom teacher. (Some schools in elementary are already providing access to gmail or other types of emails). Students can create a graphic organizer to demonstrate their knowledge and awareness about using emails, why, how, safety, do and don't.

 * Helpful Tips:** The teacher will need to model the proper way to e-mail another individual. While reviewing, the teacher will show the students where to insert an e-mail address, assign a topic, discuss appropriate content, and how to send the e-mail. To utilize time efficiently, the teacher should connect a computer to the classroom television and model the process for the entire class. Although Gaggle.net posts advertisements on their website, a teacher can simply reiterate to their students not to click on the advertisements – no matter how tempting.

 * Basic Concept:** Email Accounts
 * Grade Level:** 9-12
 * Detail:** Gaining Email Accounts for Students
 * Benefit of Technology:** I would like to use ePALS SchoolMail with my classes to improve classroom efficiency, project sharing, and communication with my students. Administrative concerns will be for the safety of the students, and I feel this suite offers some valuable features. For example, there will be no advertisements or spam going into accounts. A major feature for me was that inappropriate and profane emails will be flagged. If my district were signed up, my admistrator could limit the use of it to certain classrooms, which would eliminate a lot of filtering and supervision issues. I would monitor email as my students use it for our projects, as I am sure other teachers would if offered the service for even temporary use during projects. I like that the service can be modified to allow different levels of communication depending on administrators’ and teachers’ preferences. I felt that overall this service would provide our district with some much needed tools for communication, yet would allow some comfort to teachers and parents with its elaborate safety features.
 * Helpful Tips:** In order to be fully successful, both faculty and students would need to be taught how to use the service. The students would need to be reminded of the lack of privacy the service offers, and that it is intended for educational purposes //only//. Most of our faculty would be reluctant to go through this process, but once done, would probably use it. I think all of the students would use it, and be quite relieved that they can work a bit more collaboratively on assignments. I also think the general population of our school would respect the rules, but there would, of course, be a few who try to send inappropriate material. As long as our rules are enforced consistently though, I think this could easily be curbed.
