[LM_NET] requiring students to have email acct for TurnItIn.Com

[C Allen <C_Allen@DUXBURY.K12.MA.US>]

Hi Everyone,
A social studies teacher in my school is starting to use Turn It In.Com
and is concerned about how to handle requiring each student to have an
email account.  He wants to know how other schools handle this. Our school
does not have the resources to give our students email at this time so he
is thinking of having each student set up a hotmail account.  Is this a
good way to handle this?  He really does not want to get involved with
students personal email accounts.  Have you all had any experience with
this or do you know how your school handles this?  

Also, does this have any effect on a standard acceptable use policy?  

Thanks
