Note: Most Web 2.0 applications require you to create an account. If you do not want to use your school email, then create a free email with Gmail - use a school-related name, such as MrsTeacherAPHS@gmail.com. Make sure to read the Web 2.0 account setup carefully and check (if you want) that you do not want to be emailed for every little thing. Most applications do not send spam-like mail as they want your business and good-will.
