Internet Resource Directory, Part 1: E-Mail Discussion Groups (LISTSERV groups) of Interest to Educators version 1: July 7, 1992 The information in this file is the result of Internet "prospecting" and teamwork by 24 eastern Nebraska teachers who were enrolled in a graduate telecomputing-in-education course during the Spring 1992 semester at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Much of their work for the course entailed exploring different Internet resource sites, then writing, fieldtesting, and revising friendly documentation describing online resources that they felt to be of value to K-12 teachers and/or students. Below please find information on several LISTSERV groups. **This is NOT meant to be an exhaustive list of all of the groups of use to K-12 educators**. Rather, it is a beginning of what we hope will be an ongoing collaborative effort among telecomputing educators on a larger scale. We invite you to use this, share it with other teachers, amend it, append to it, and update it. We hope that the information that it contains will be useful to you.

While the discussions are not all useful to the traditional classroom teacher, I find this listserv to be both interesting and valuable.

The more useful articles deal with a variety of educational issues such as cooperative education, group discussion, and grading. The candor of the articles is helpful and supportive.

SUBSCRIPTION ADDRESS: LISTSERV@UAFSYSB PARTICIPATION ADDRESS: BLIND-L@UAFSYSB LIST COORDINATOR'S ADDRESS: None listed. REACTIONS: There is not much activity in this forum. As time passes and the expense of the hardware comes down I would imagine that this group could become very active. Most of the discussions that were sent came from educators asking questions about what type or braille printers and other technical equipment worked best with the blind or visually handicapped student. It would be nice to actually see the students themselves become active on the computer telecommun- icating. HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS DISCUSSION GROUP: 1.

SUBSCRIPTION ADDRESS: LISTSERV@TTUVM1 PARTICIPATION ADDRESS: CW-L@TTUVM1 LIST COORDINATOR'S ADDRESS: YJFOK@TTACS Fred Kemp REACTIONS: The discussion of this group centers on the use of computers for college writing courses. There is a debate about the use of wrod processors to aid the students in learning the writing process. It is generally agreed that word processors do help with the revision process making it a less laborious task. The main question is that of quantity vs. quality. Some participants feel that word processors enable students to write longer passages, but do not necessarily contribute to a quality product. Their point is that quantity does not necessarily mean quality. The other side proposes that the more a student writes the better he/she becomes. In other words "practice makes perfect." Another topic seems to be the knowledge or rather the lack of knowledge about telecommunications in the writing departments at large universities. Participants have been shocked to learn that even department heads are unfamiliar with tele- communicating and are at a loss when asked about bitnet or internet addresses. There is definitely a desire to educate the academic world and drag them into the 21st century. HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS DISCUSSION GROUP: 1. Get into your EMail mode. 2.

SUBSCRIPTION ADDRESS: LISTSERV@BOUB011 PARTICIPATION ADDRESS: FINEART@"B0UB011 COORDINATOR'S ADDRESS: FINEART@UMAECS (Ray Lauzzana) REACTIONS - - There is not much activity in this forum during the Spring semester 1992. As time passes and the expense of the hardware comes down I would imagine that this group could become very active. Some of the discussion touched on this subject. Most of the discussions that were sent came from educators asking questions about software and printing processes. Also discussed were how to generate masters prints. HOW TO SUBSCRIBE - - 1.

SUBSCRIPTION ADDRESS: LISTSERV@URFJ.BITNET PARTICIPATION ADDRESS: HIT@URFJ.BITNET LIST COORDINATOR'S ADDRESS: Rick%maxai.den.mmc.com@NETMGR.MMC.COM REACTIONS: Most of the possible technologies discussed have been borrowed from science fiction novels or television shows. Other topics seem to arise from conversations among group members. The discussions that I read were quite interesting. One discussion dealt with why time appears to move at different speeds. (ie. Why do events right before/after a car accident seem to slow down or speed up? Is there any way we can make time slow down or speed up at will?) Another discussion dealt with the possibility of passing knowledge to unborn children through the womb. Each of the topics was thought provoking and interesting.

Here, they can talk about whatever they like, establish relationships with new friends in other countries, discuss the future, school, hobbiies etc... Subscription is open to everyone however, only students ages 10-15 may post. Adults may read but not post. I enjoy reading the postings from students around the world. A true global perspective developed rather quickly. It was not difficult to motivate my students to use this listserve group. In fact I had a greater challenge in scheduling access to the messages that we received. On the down side, many of the postings are dull and rather trivial. Some are extremely well done. It becomes an art of sifting through 25 - 50 postings per day looking for those of interest. It is suggested that your mail be checked frequently to avoid an avalanche. I do come across some postings that are written in foreign languages, but almost all are written in English. This does have possibilities for students studying foreign languages though.

Technical information, FTP sites, telnet sites, and other listserve groups that may be of interest to K-12 educators are also shared. I think this listserve group is of very high quality and I would recommend this group to all K-12 educators regardless of their level of experience with computer mediated communications.

SUBSRIPTION ADDRESS: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1.BITNET PARTICIPATION ADDRESS: KIDS-92@VM1.NODAK.EDU LIST COORDINATOR'S ADDRESS: opresno@ulrik.uio.no Odd de Presno REACTIONS: There are many facets to this discussion group. The main thrust seems to be children from a variety of places around the world writing to the public bulletin board (RESPONSE) with information about themselves and their hopes for the future, both personal goals and dreams on a better world. The children must be between the ages of 10-15. It is delightful to read comments from children all over this world and learn what they are thinking about their own futures. KIDSCAFE is another part of this project which is a discussion group for children again ages 10-15. Here they may discuss any topics which are current and meaningful to them. This group is monitored by the management for appropriateness. Children also make friends and are encouraged to correspond with each other electronically. Either area is extremely exciting to students and provides a wonderful opportunity to expand your student's viewpoints. HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS DISCUSSION GROUP: 1. Get into youR EMail Mode. 2.

SUBSCRIPTION ADDRESS: LISTSERV@PSUVM.BITNET PARTICIPATION ADDRESS: PHYSHARE@PSUVM.BITNET LIST COORDINATORS ADDRESS: None listed. REACTIONS: The Physhare discussion group is frequented by physics educators who are just beginning to understand the power of networking. Many of the articles deal with the need to better organize all the information passing through the group in order to simplify the gleaning of useful information. Physhare is an attempt to step forward into the information age. A networking project has the potential to eliminate the redundancies in teacher work patterns and provide more time to become a better teacher. HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS DISCUSSION GROUP: 1.

SUBSCRIPTION ADDRESS: LISTSERV@YORKVM1 PARTICIPATION ADDRESS: SKEPTIC@YORKVM1 LIST COORDINATOR'S ADDRESS: None listed. REACTIONS: This discussion group would not be an appropriate list for students, but it is a good source for the teacher. The topics themselves are somewhat technical and unless you do alot of reading in the subject areas mentioned at the beginning of this article you may be at a loss as to what these people are talking about. Once you get into the swing of things, though, it can become quite interesting. This might be a good example of a discussion group that someone could start at the high school level. It would be interesting to throw out topics that appear in the news or even in textbooks that are somewhat "suspect" and then let the students analyze their thoughts on why or why not this article is true or false. I would think that you could get some lively discussions going. This type of discussion group would take a little more monitoring than a less controversial discussion group. HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS DISCUSSION GROUP: 1. Send an E-mail message to: LISTSERV@YORKVM1 2. Leave the subject line blank 3.

SUBSCRIPTION ADDRESSES: LISTSERV@RICEVM1 LISTSERV@RICEM1.RICE.EDU LIST COORDINATOR'S ADDRESS: ace@tidbits.halcyon.com "Adam C.Engst" REACTIONS: While I watched this listserv for the last two weeks, I found it was a weekly electronic newsletter. It deals with information on events and products of the week with an emphasis on the MacIntosh Last week's big story was about a virus two students tried to put out at Rice University and were caught. The FBI was involved but did not file federal charges. The weekly newsletter is very lengthly. Each printing is from 9-13 single spaced computer printout pages and takes considerable time to read. For more information on TidBits, you send e-mail to info@tidbits.halcyon.com and a file is supposed to be returned promptly. I did not do this becuase of time restraints in preparation of this assignment. This listserv took about a week for confirmation. I would highly recommend this lengthly newsletter to anyone using the MacIntosh computer. HOW TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS DISCUSSION GROUP: 1. Send an electronic mail message to LISTSERV@RICEVM1 2.
