NationStates Jolt Archive

Dear Mr. Monitor:

I am a high school teacher who is using NationStates as part of my curriculum. My nation Pellion was recently booted out of the UN because I had put both of my Nations in there for purposes of my class (I split my 5 classes between two regions). Is there anyway you could see fit to allow Pellion back in? Also, I have another challenge: some of my students do not have internet at home, and therefore no e-mail.

I want all of my students to be able to join the UN. I have no problem with them using my school e-mail address (@sdhc.k12.fl.us), but then you will think that all of these nations are the same person! HELP!! Any ideas? I think that the UN is so important for the students as it allows them to participate in government. Any assistance you can provide to this matter is appreciated.

Before I go, let me say that I have received 99% positive feedback from parents with regard to this game. My students, who formerly did not care about real-world politics, are discussing current events with their parents, researching political issues, and discussing them in class.

Thank you so much. You are to be commended for your game!!

Why not use one nation for both classes, and have the kids use their school accounts ? (Or if the school doesn't provide them, the supportive parents give them ISP email or yahoo, hotmail etc email?)

Also, you should start a new thread for this(or modalert uSplit?).

This shouldn't be in this Announcement thread. Hence, iSplit into a new topic.

Pellion, I have replied to your post, above. Please check your telegram box. Thank you.

Why not use one nation for both classes, and have the kids use their school accounts ? (Or if the school doesn't provide them . . .
set them up with e-mail accounts at yahoo or hotmail which offer free e-mail accounts.

Just to help a little more then the other people who posted before me ( :P ) Yahoo (http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_register?.v=&.intl=&new=1&.done=&.src=ym&.partner=&.p=&promo=&.last=) and Hotmail (https://registernet.passport.net/reg.srf?id=2&lc=1033&sl=1) both provide free web based email (links to there sign up pages provided).

Also, is there any particular reason that you need both of your nations in the UN? Being in the UN doesn't do to much a nation, and (assuming you are founder of these regions ... I noticed that Pellion is), that will give you far more power of the region then being in the UN (or even then being the delegate for that region). I suppose that you may want to endorse certain students, especially if endorsements play a part in the project you are using NS for, but given the size of your class (55 people in Pellion's region), I'd think that one endorsement wouldn't be too much...

After reviewing the situation, the ban has been removed from Pellion. You are free to reapply for UN membership. If any of your students were UN banned, please email myself at nuttythemod@yahoo.com from your official school email address with a list of those needing the ban removed.

We sincerely apologize for this mistake, and believe me, the Mod responsible is going to have the tar beat out of him (not really, but it sounds good...)
