Tech Tip Tuesday: Student Emails

Today's tip is going to be super quick, because we started school yesterday, and I am one busy lady!

Have you ever found a really cool website you wanted to use with your class, but it required individual student email addresses? I found the answer last night. 

Step 1: Go to Gmail.com and create a Gmail account for your class. (I used mrsdoyle5th@gmail.com)

Step 2: When signing up your students for whatever website you are using, enter this email address followed by + and a number. (For example, mrsdoyle5th+1@gmail.com, mrsdoyle5th+2@gmail.com, etc.)

Gmail ignores anything after a + in an email address, and sends all correspondence to the original email address.

Easy as pie!

    Very good tip to tell! I've been using it for years with Animoto and it works perfectly!
