Here's a really cool site:
Future Me. Use it to send an email to yourself in the future! The time span can be days, weeks, months, even years (up to 2061)! All you do is compose an email to your future self and the site will keep it until the the delivery date that you choose. The only trick is to make sure that you send the email to an address that you are most likely to still have in that all-mysterious future....possibly a gmail, yahoo, or hotmail account instead of a work account.
Possible uses for this in your classroom? Have your students write emails to themselves with goals for the school year. Did they accomplish in June what they were hoping to accomplish in September? What about freshman students writing to themselves as seniors? What would they say to themselves?
One note: you may want to add "mailer@futureme.org" to your non-spam list since that is the address from which your email will be delivered.
Cool idea!
