and forums to broadcast messages to students. Because we've locked down
enrolments to vaild Pascoe Vale Girls College email accounts the messages reach
them there. Moodle Meta courses are nice for this as well. Similarly we reply to
students' college accounts instead of their Hotmail. Gmail is a bit of an
exception here as we are exploring it for collaborative document

<div>Your blunder may be just the catalyst to start a thread on how schools
communicate with there students.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It would appear that you communicating with your students via email is a
very 'normal' thing for you.</div>

<div>How do others see this? Progressive or 'normal'?</div>
