Instead of having my students fill out an information card this year, I'm having them e-mail me information. They're to send me a little introduction with information about where they went to middle school, what they liked about English class last year, and what their academic, social, and academic goals are for the year.
I'm making them make their own academic e-mail address. No more 9th graders with e-mail addresses like "sexykitten69@yahoo.com" or "sk8brdr4life@gmail.com", but, rathe,r e-mail addresses that area variation on their names and that show up as their government names in my inbox.
You should read the ones I'm already getting. Very cute.
Quick Hits: Beltran, D'Backs, Montero, Draft, Cashner

I love that idea! It's good to teach them that sometimes in the real world it's not appropriate to have an email address like the ones you mentioned. It helps them get ready for the professional world. While you're at it, perhaps you could encourage their parents to do the same. It's a little embarrassing for me as an educator to have to send an email to sexygreeneyes11. Aye yi yi!
