Most schools and organizations have access to e-mail through a local internet provider, often providing unlimited service for a monthly fee or at no cost to individual teachers and students.
Internet providers use different e-mail software.
These typically require constant Internet connection. It is our experience that teachers learn about e-mail as they work on conferences. E-mail is primarily sent from one computer to another computer, with possibly one or more copies going to other computers. It is viewed only by the sender and recipients of the e-mail message. E-mail is an extremely valuable and personal way of connecting people around the world.
