ListServes

Overview

Listserves provide a forum for people with a common interest to share ideas via e-mail.

A listserve is like a glorified mailing list. When you send a message to the list, everyone on the list receives a copy of your message. On most lists, any reply you make to a message posted to the list also goes to everyone on the list. Much like a round-table discussion.

There are hundreds of thousand of lists operating on the Internet, covering every interest you could possibly imagine (and some you probably can't!).

The lists below are related to supporting educators and the use of ICT in schools. With maybe the exception of the OZTL list, and some of the Apple lists, these lists are relatively "low volume" - ie you won't be deluged with too much mail. (Some people setup a separate free e-mail account just for their list mail).
