Student Council here at ACI is setting up a school email system, through Google. Now by going to http://partnerpage.google.com/students.aci.k12.tr, I can log into my school email account (send all love notes to kyra.gould@aci.k12.tr) and I will also see my personalized start page. Through the start page the Student Council is setting up a calendar for all students here at ACI to see. They can post things like exam dates, assemblies, special events, etc., so that those are all accessible online. Soon students will have no excuse for forgetting… And what is cool about the start page is that you can add items to your individual page. Like weather, quotes of the day, driving directions, calculators, dictionaries, etc., are available for personalizing your page.
I am interested to see how useful having student email will be, if it is used for daily assignments and stuff for classes or if it is just an extra email account for students. We’ll see!
