I'm finding some challenges to launching simple projects in the classrooms....
Students lack consistent and easily accessible email, and the establishment of a Google account can be a hold up when creating it on the fly with a class of 30.
I would like to investigate options for @louisvillehs.org email for our students that are secure, cost-effective and low-maintenance. Also, the setup of a Google account before classtime will greatly reduce the sign-in time for Google Docs, Blogger, etc.
The two issues are intertwined, however, because the Google blogger accounts require an email address as a usename. Students need an email address they can remember and one they can get to easily. The less they have to remember the better as far as usernames and passwords, too.
I'll hold off creating Google accounts with all the students until I decide the email solution.
