Unfortunately unique email addresses are important for password resets and deleting blogs.

The gmail+ method provides the solution!  How it works is you create one gmail account for your class.

For example, mathiscool@gmail.com or room16@gmail.com.

Then you use your one class gmail account with the gmail+ method to create each student account.

Gmail ignores any letters and numbers you add after a + sign and sends all emails to the one account while our system thinks each is a unique email.

So for example, you might use room16+emmasblp16@gmail.com,  room16+liamwblp16@gmail.com and so on for creating their usernames and gmail will send all emails to the class gmail account room16@gmail.com

Here’s an example of using the gmail+ method to create student blogs

Please Note:

• You must use a real gmail account– either use your own gmail account or set up a gmail account for your class e.g. room16@gmail.com.
• This also means that if you want to moderate comments on student posts they will be sent to your class email address.
• Also all password resets will be sent to your class email address

Here’s how to:

1. Use the Blog & User Creator to batch create student blogs
2. Batch add new users using the Blog & User Creator
3. Batch add existing users using the Blog & User Creator
4. Add new or existing users to a blog, one at a time
