either doesn't have a personal email account or the wherewithal to set one
up. When you think about the skill set we ask for in our teachers, I would
think it is rare that, about 13 years into the online era, a minimal set
of Internet-related skills would not be part of that skilll set. (I say 13
years, because one can make a case that it was 1995 when the World Wide
Web and email really took off en masse.)
I no longer have and IT-related position, but put me in the camp of those
who believe that departing teachers should be given a short grace period
but should then switch to their private accounts.
