Creating Dummy Email Accounts 1. Go to http://www.gmail.com and create a generic Gmail account specifically for use by the class. Give the account a general name easily remembered by students, as this will be part of the “dummy” email account they each use to log in to Web tools which require an email address login to use. Ex. If your last name is Smith, and you teach chemistry, you could name your account “[email protected].” 1. After creating your gmail account and verifying the account, create a Word document with a twocolumn table, as shown below. This is where you can assign the dummy accounts and have a record of student/dummy account pairing. Assign the dummy accounts as, gmail account name + number @gmail.com. SEE BELOW: DUMMY ACCOUNT STUDENT NAME [email protected] Sarah Stevens [email protected] Billy Mullins [email protected] Lisa Frazier [email protected] Matthew Treadwell 2. When students login to Web 2.0 tools which require an email to create an account, they use the dummy gmail address. ALL responses from registrations will feed into the original smithchem@gmail account. STUDENTS CANNOT SEND OR RECEIVE EMAIL WITH THE DUMMY ACCOUNTS.

specifically for use by the class. Give the account a general name easily remembered by students, as this will be part of the “dummy” email account they each use to log in to Web tools which require an email address login to use. 

Ex. If your last name is Smith, and you teach chemistry, you could name your account “[email protected].” 

1. After creating your gmail account and verifying the account, create a Word document with a two‐column table, as shown below. This is where you can assign the dummy accounts and have a record of student/dummy account pairing. Assign the dummy accounts as, gmail account name + number @gmail.com. SEE BELOW:

2. When students login to Web 2.0 tools which require an email to create an account, they use the dummy gmail address. ALL responses from registrations will feed into the original smithchem@gmail account. STUDENTS CANNOT SEND OR RECEIVE EMAIL WITH THE DUMMY ACCOUNTS.
