=What is a listserv? =

• A place to share challenges
===So, it’s a group of individuals with like interests who communicate about those interests via e-mail. By simply filling in one e-mail address for the listserv, your message will be sent out to all those individuals who subscribe to that listserv.===

=Why use a listserv? = ===Suppose you are looking for a new approach to teaching a particular topic using the tools you received as part of CFF. You can write up a quick description – as general or specific as you like – and send it off to the listserv. In a matter of moments, you could get responses from colleagues across the state!===

When you find a great resource for your subject, you can share it with others across the state. You can tell how you used it and why it worked.
===CFF subject area listservs are a valuable means of communication. They offer you the opportunity to collaborate with teachers across the state. With an active subject area listserv, you’ll have new ideas, new colleagues, and great resources.===

=Replying to the Listserv = ===Due to the nature of these subject area listservs, clicking REPLY is the equivalent of REPLY ALL. As a result, it is absolutely necessary for you to include your signature in all e-mails to the listserv. This will allow (and encourage) other teachers to reply directly to you, rather than to the entire listserv. Your signature should include:===

=Collaborative Spirit = ===In the spirit of collaboration, if you receive responses privately, we request that you post a synopsis of the answers/suggestions in an appropriately named e-mail to the listserv. This will ensure that everyone gets to share the great ideas.===

=Sharing Documents = ===If you are sharing documents with teachers across the project, remember that not everyone is using the same version of MS Office. So, if you are using Office 2007, please save to an earlier version, so that everyone can open the file! This may be true within your own district as well.===
