E-mail is an essential part of education for students today. The challenge: How to give your students and teachers all the learning and community advantages of e-mail - while protecting them from all the problems of open, commercial POP3 e-mail systems. The solution: Email3000^®, the new e-mail system for grades 2-12 from Achieve3000^®, publisher of the acclaimed KidBiz3000™ , TeenBiz3000^® and Empower3000^™. It's the only school e-mail solution that provides complete safety and security, while also sending students e-mails to ensure usage and practice.

The turnkey e-mail solution that's 100% safe and secure.

Spam. Uncensored e-mails. Viruses. Predators. With Email3000, there's no cause for concern. Email3000 is a turnkey school e-mail system that simulates commercial e-mail. Email3000 allows students, teachers and parents to communicate in a completely safe and secure environment. While Email3000 includes all of the same functions as POP3 e-mail, it does so with a database back end that limits usage to authorized users only. That means you're always in complete control.

Key Benefits:

Delivers differentiated instruction daily.

Your students will use Email3000—and learn as a result of it—because the system sends them e-mails. Students receive a short, daily e-mail message about current events, books, sports or other topic of interest. The e-mail text is differentiated according to each student's Lexile^® level. As a result, Email3000 gets students in the habit of checking their e-mail, reading their e-mail and responding regularly.

Teaches essential technology skills.

In this way, Email3000 becomes a powerfully pervasive instructional tool for your students. It effectively teaches them the technology skills inherent in e-mail—skills that are essential to success in school and in life. Composing and sending e-mails. Including attachments. Organizing documents into folders. Communicating clearly and collaborating via the e-mail medium. These are all critical real-world skills and are just some of the skills Email3000 helps your students master.

Also encourages reading and writing skills.

Email3000 is a means to another, equally essential end: improving students' reading and writing skills. The daily e-mails featuring level-appropriate messages provide an everyday incentive to read and write. What's more, the ongoing process of sending and replying to e-mails means that students will write more—a critical key to writing better.*

E-RATE eligible - for effectiveness you can afford.

Email3000 qualifies for federal E-RATE funding. That means you can deploy this uniquely effective educational technology tool while maximizing your district or school budgets.
