Free Filtered Email Accounts For Schools And Students

Gaggle is a brand new service that provides safe, controlled e-mail accounts for students. These e-mail accounts can be accessed from any computer hooked up to the Internet. Best of all, it is 100% FREE for both schools and students.

How it Works
Gaggle mail is provided via the web. No hardware or software is required by your school other than an Internet connection. Students can use any computer to log onto the Gaggle web site. The student simply enters their name and password to access their mail account.

Each teacher also has their own unrestricted Gaggle e-mail account. The teacher can view the contents of student messages, suspend student accounts and more.

Any student e-mail that looks questionable will be sent to the teacher's "Blocked" folder. The teacher has the opportunity to review the message before deleting it or allowing the message to be sent.

The Gaggle web site is made free thanks to the support of advertisers. All of the advertisers are screened by a committee of educators to make sure that the ads are appropriate for students.

Benefits of Using Gaggle:

  • Block SPAM and pornographic e-mail to your students
  • Automatically monitor message content
  • Block student messages which contain curse words
  • Prevent harassing or derogatory e-mail messages
  • Quickly and easily review all student messages
  • Block e-mail with outsiders, unless they are on your approved list
  • Students can access mail from any computer: in the classroom, in the library, or at home.
  • Saves class time!

Setting up your Gaggle e-mail accounts is very easy. It can be done in just a few minutes using your Internet browser. You can enter your students accounts yourself or generate registration codes for the students. All the school needs is an Internet connection, and we do the rest. There is no hardware or software to purchase. All of the Gaggle.Net services are provided via the web, direct from our host computer servers.

Individual teachers, schools, or entire districts can sign up with the Gaggle Network. To sign up for the Gaggle service, go to the web site www.Gaggle.Net or call us at 888-237-6740.
