What do you use for personal email?

I'm shocked by te number of students who still use emails like "[email protected]" as their official contact email. Of course, I'm also shocked at the number of teens who don't really use/check their email with any regularity.

The difference between email and social networks is the difference between PCs and tablets when it comes to productivity.

I keep trying to tell my students (mind you, these are kids taking a college level class in high school) that they MUST check their email daily. I can't tell you how many times they send me something in email, I reply to them that I received it, then I see them two days later and they say, "Hey, did you get that assignment I sent you?"

Uhhh, yes. I sent you an email immediately. That means you haven't checked your email in 2 days since you sent the assignment. Awesome.

Meanwhile, they know every single time some dipshit comments on their instagram or Bob tweets what he ate for breakfast.
