Google do provide student email. Also, I'd recommend that you look at Diigo. You can then turn searching into higher order justification. You can create accounts for the students. They can collaborate in groups and also use the forum. Simple, not quite it's intention, but works - and builds stronger 'search' skills. For a collaborative classroom, have a look ar 21 Classes. You can then create log ins for students, and not have to use email at all. My wife has one for 1st graders…

Docs.google.com would be a good way to do the online collaboration and keep the privacy of the students involved by not sharing the docs publicly. Alternatively you could make the document publicly editable, but not share the URL online so it would be extremely unlikely to be found.<br />

They would give a final presentation/report on their innovation.

We just finished a semester long study of <a href="http://connections.smsd.org/robots">The Inventive Process</a>. On the site you can find the curriculum we used and all of our projects--The Invention Fair is Tuesday, we'll post the pictures of displays and prototypes after that. Check out The Pringles Project, we ended up doing a video conference with a school in New Jersey to share the results of the Pringle's packaging.
