Subscribing to Educational Listserves / Groups

Communicating and collaborating with other educators can be a very beneficial professional development experience. Select one or more of the options below to experience a listserve or collaborative group.

If you are worried about getting inundated with messages from a listserve, I would suggest the Edutopia Weekly E-Newsletter. This subscription will only result in one message a week. I have been a subscriber for several years now and have found the weekly newsletter to be very beneficial.

The Teachers.net mailrings can be quite active. If you want to try them, I'd suggest that you start with one and unsubscribe if the subscription results in more than you want to read.

If you would prefer not to get any more email, you can bookmark and follow one or more of the Edutopia Groups while you work on the rest of the course.

Edutopia

hint: scroll down the page until you see the "Get the best of Edutopia in your inbox each week" section. Enter your email address if you are willing to see how it works. You can easily unsubscribe with a link at the bottom of any of the newsletters.

Teachers.Net Mail Rings

Note: Teachers.net offers dozens of special interest listserves (they call them MailRings...) which can provide opportunities for communication with other educators who share similar teaching assignments.

EducationWorld: Free E-mail Newsletters

EducationWorld's offers a number of newsletters which typically have provide useful information for educators.

If you decide to complete this optional activity, record the date(s) on which you completed the activity in your logbook.
