anyone Gaggling ?

[pinemarten]

no it's not about geese

 

it's a free (ok,ad-sponsored) web based filtered email service for schools.

we're thinking of using it and blocking other web based emails for students.

 

 

thoughts/experience on this one ,anyone?

Looks OK, but my first thought is can you trust the company behind it to decide whether the adverts carried are suitable and/or appropriate for the kids?

Adware and only a 2.5Mb mailbox? Then only 25Mb for $4 per mailbox?

Sounds poor to me... have you looked at the google domain thread?

Hi, we have been using Gaggle email (the free version) since I arrived here 2000, not had any problems, very secure. It is a large Canadian Company, lots of schools using it.

Contacted them by email and they set a system up for the school.

 

It is simple to use, particulary for the Year 7`s, easy to manage, lots of security features, just need to put up with the adverts on the free version.
