I goggled the solution and found that by simply adding a "plus sign" after your username and before the "@gmail.com" that would be delivered directly to your account. ex. "langwitches+123[at] gmail dot com" How cool is that? Kim,

Unfortunately our tech department is huge and I am, by no means, in charge of anything related the backend of our network... So, I think I'm going to do the multiple e-mails under one gmail account that I've seen other teachers do in the past. It's not ideal, but it's the only thing I can think of. I'm hoping that each teacher will manage the e-mails for his/her individual class because there is no way I can manage all 700 email accounts for every elementary student at our school... Next on the agenda: get the school to give the students e-mail accounts. Duh. When I was teaching in Munich from 2000 - 2005 every student had an e-mail account provided by the school. Because of that experience, I have come to expect school-provided e-mail accounts for students and still find myself shocked when the kids don't have them. One step at a time, though... An interesting solution, Silvia!
