Here's the problem we found using e-pal as a student email. We needed an email provider that would allow students to get individual activation codes for different applications--like animoto, floorplanner.com, atmosphir.com, lego digital designer, etc. E-pal blocks all of these types of emails. If you buy a domain name like 'mrssmithsclass' you can get 50 gmail accounts with your domain in place of gmail. (i.e, nancy@mrssmithsclass.com) That's what we finally did and it worked great!!

Maybe try epals.com. Your students can connect with kids all around the world and maybe even create projects. Check it out. It is free.

In addition to some creative opportunities for student achievement, these also help g/t kids connect with their intellectual peers and develop a better appreciation of the wide range of g/t students beyond the four walls of their own school.

If you feel the need to know you could have a private therapist or psychologist test him. Probably doesn't make much difference at his age--the thing to keep in mind as he approaches 5 is early entry to school (if appropriate) or skipping kindergarten and going straight to first grade--this may be an option if he is 'old' for school entry or already been to several years of preschool. Generally schhols don't like to announce these options--but if he is reading 2-4 years ahead of peers you may…

My son is 3 1/2 years old and is way ahead of his age. I do not know how get it assessed whether he is gifted or just smart. I have not come across any gifted child program in CT at all. So I also wonder, if your child can do something more than the other children then how can you encourage it

Thanks for checking it out. Yes, the ePortfolio were a county initiative that started three years ago. It was set up to measure the Four Strategic Objectives laid out by the Manatee County Schools' initiative Edvantage.<br />
Rubrics for each Objective:<br />
Enthusiasm for Learning<br />

I have a small group of students that are using a blog as their ePortfolios. Overall, it has been great to see how they apply these objectives to what they are doing in and out of school.<br />
<br />
I love your blog and I have already planned to go back and read it. Thanks for sharing!
