Directions+for+signing+up+for+various+websites

**When having students use Web 2.0 sites**, many times they need email addresses. If they only need the email address in order to sign up for the site (one time only use) have them use an email address at mailcatch.com. They would simply use some username of their choice@mailcatch.com. Here is the description from their site: // MailCatch is an email service that allows you to create temporary disposable mailboxes, in a completly anonymous way. When you are asked for an email by a website and you do not want to give your (for fear of spam), you can simply give whatever mailbox name you want on the mailcatch.com domain (like whatever@mailcatch.com). Then you come here, type in the mailbox name and check your mail. We get the spam, not you! The ultimate anti-spam service!

// Here is a list of other disposable email sites: [|http://www.emailzorz.com/] receive only [|http://spamfree24.org/default.asp]- incoming mail is only stored for a few hours http://www.mailexpire.com/ - alias accounts [|http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/] - 10 minute storage and use [|http://www.dodgeit.com/]- receive only [|http://www.tempemail.net/] - receive only create a temporary inbox http://www.temporaryinbox.com/temporaryinbox.php - creates a random email account

**If you want students to use wikispaces, you can get accounts linked to your wiki without email by doing the following:**
1. Create your wiki here (this avoids the appearance of ads on your wiki). 2. Enter student accounts by going to Manage Space - User Creator. There are directions there for uploading student users. OR see Carol Roth or Lauri Graybill and we will do this for you.

**To have your students use Google Docs:**
They first have to make sure their accounts work: Go to [|docs.cypanthers.org] They log in using their school user name and password. If it works, they should get one of those screens that asks them to accept terms and fill in one of those funny looking words. If it does not, contact Sue Sheffer. To share a doc with someone else, they use otherperson@cypanthers.org. The doc will just show up in the other person's doc list. They may use Google Docs for anything school related. Since they cannot change their passwords, we can go in and check the work at any time.

**Student Email and File Transferring To/From Home:** High School students have been given email addresses, which they should use only for school related purposes. They may send attachments to/from themselvs.

Google docs has the ability to import/export documents from MS Office.
