I understand about paranoid district tech people. I love use
Quizlet to help my students study vocabulary. However, students
must have an email account in order to get a Quizlet account.
Luckily, the techs don't block as much on teacher computers as they
do the students. I take every student without an email account to
my computer and make them a Hotmail account. Then they can go to
the student computers and register for Quizlet.
