Classes via email can not be done on this list.  
 
I need to find out where and how to set up another list serve for  that.
 
This is a good idea, but it needs to be a separate list and we need to  
organize and plan it out.

Joyce,

The first question is what is allowed. Some areas  that can be classes also 
can be a simple directional post to the group.  Because there seems to be 
so 
much confusion, nobody knows what to do or  not to do. I won't develop a 
class till this stuff is decided. I'm not  taking time to develop and then 
be 
told that I'm not allowed to do that  whatever that is.

An example is that I proposed the idea of posting to  the list material so 
all could have access even those in different time  zones or schedules. I 
got 
that I could maybe do this or that but not a  single encouragement. I feel 
that I need to be whole group inclusive and  not exclusive as I'm 
perceiving 
the situation. Please list out the  guidelines for all teaching material so 
that I and the group can go  forward.

Do we have any teachers out there that can do  this?

or Do we have any people out there that can help a teacher to  do  this?

I don't know much about this and I would like to know if  you know how to do
things with these suggested areas.

that  would be  entirely up to the teacher to design the class any way they
would   like. I am just putting out some possibilities that some  teachers
may
like  to grab onto to create something that would give  additional ways to
conduct a class.  I think the website, FAce Book,  You Tube, and  conferece
calls all could be used in creative ways for  any teacher who  wants to
explore them. Lynda
