[Nfb-krafters-korner] A Whole New Concept!

[Blindhands at aol.com]

When you first sign up for the list, it is stated about subject lines and  
staying on topic.  As Audrey has said it is up to the indivisuals to do  
this.  I read every email that is on this list and now I have the previous  
email that I am replying to included after my reply.  I don't know how it  
changed but possibly the newer updated versions that are now on my  computer.

Greg,  
This sounds like a very good idea and I hope the people on  the board give 
it some consideration, if they can. (just a  suggestion) 
One drawback that I see, from my viewpoint only,  being a monitor of the 
emails. I think everyone has seen me ask more  than once to please watch the 
subject line of your postings. Since  this list was started I spoke to Joyce 
about the potential of the   catagorizing of subject line as a very viable 
research tool, but my pleas,  most times have fallen on deaf ears. There have 
been endless strings of good  information lost to subject lines like 
"Joann's lastest sales (just a heading,  don't get bent out of shape) that last 
for days and days. 
I  think your idea is a great one, but it takes the do diligence of 
everyone in  order for it to work.  Believe me, I hope it does. 
Good  Luck, 
Audrey Wellner, Secretary
Krafters  Korner division

I have a new idea! Krafter’s Corner is a great group and I am  not 
suggesting we change ANYTHING! But, maybe we have become to focused on our  
wonderful and valuable phone service for classes. There is a need and always  will 
be a need for this kind of enteraction. But, quite frankly, it does not  meet 
the needs of everyone. A person has to have long distance access in an  
affordable way or skype. You have to show up at the designated time even if  
that’s in the middle of the night where you are. You have to work at the pace  
of all the other students. And, there are many more comments I have read 
here!  

Why are we not using this e-mail list for more than a way to socialize  in 
many cases? Why isn’t a classroom a part of it? What I’d like to propose is 
 that we all Me included start labeling the message very carefully and 
start  doing more how-to stuff right here! If I’m not interested in a topic, I 
simply  can skip those posts. An example of this is that it has been 
suggested I start  some crochet instruction. If I take the time to write a coherent 
lesson plan  and explanation which I would need for a phone class, I can 
post that here.  Then, if you want to do it, you can give it a try, e-mail a 
question for all  to see and learn from, I respond, and on and on till we all 
learn. Somebody  can read that anytime. If somebody comes along a year from 
now and wants to  read that material, they can search for a specific Subject 
and read all about  it. I learn to teach. I learn to write a Good lesson 
plan. I give of myself  and not just take from the group. I freely
give that instruction because I  want to and not as a job. It’s my fun time 
and not a professional time that I  owe anybody. These are a few of the 
benefits. 

These are some of my  thoughts. Are others interested in doing something 
like this in addition to  all that we already do? Is there a reason that it won
’t  work?

Greg
