[eMINTS] email accounts for students

[Cristina Hulsopple]

I have also used ePALS in the past and found it to be very easy to use.
I was able to preview all incoming/outgoing e-mails and talk to students
who responded inappropriately.  I like the idea of using it for kids to
respond to their independent reading.

I use ePals accounts for my students.  When we start I email them and
give them directions to email me back about a certain topic.  I count
this as a communication arts grade based on their paragraph.  

Another thing we do is letters to the teacher for independent reading. 
I have had my students write their letter to me via email.

With ePals I have the accounts set so that every email comes to me for
previewing first.  It is a pain, but for the first time this year I had
bullying going on with some of my girls and I caught it in the emails.
