The use of ict in
schools should have given more free time to students, teachers and
parents. Alas in some cases it did not happen! One of the reasons is
that when one opens up his/her email account, there are so many
emails! Email marketing is still being used. Some companies do sell
our information. In other times we do give our information for some
free goodies….yet in the end we are overwhelmed by the amount of
junk mail we receive. I’ve heard people saying that they have
hundreds if not thousands of emails in their inbox!! The overall
result will be that such people will not open their email account as
they see it as an impossible task even though they receive urgent
emails!
Is there a solution?
Well first of all working in a school we should all be educated to
start thinking before giving in our information. Will they share our
information? Please do take some time to read the information before
signing in!
Secondly we have an
open source program in order to train our email program to know
what’s spam (unwanted emails) and what’s not. We introduce
SpamAssassin. On that
page one has where to download; wiki; forum; documentation and FAQ.
