About TIEC Group Listserv
Post date: Aug 19, 2010 5:05:27 AM
What does the group listserv have to offer members? A growing database and files section of communicative games and activities and little gems of advice on everything from working with handouts to handling kindergarten ankle-biters. Almost all of the files are available as HTML or TXT files making them easily accessible even from your slow backwoods school's 64k ISDN connection. Apart from the useful ideas and materials for use in class, there is also information and links to help you get the most out of living in Tokachi. As of September the listserv will be 6 years old, and as time goes by its usefulness grows as each member adds their own little gems to the group.
You can visit the group on the web at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tiec2004/. However, only those subscribed to the listserv can read and post messages, access the group files, group databases, group photos and other goodies. Accessing group functions other than the mailing list require that you have a Yahoo.com account.
Privacy Concerns
Your e-mail addresses and what you post are kept safe on the group. However this is a mailing list. What you do with the information once it reaches you can effect others. Let's keep it professional.
How would one know if the message archive was public or not? Yahoo tells you when you do a search for and find the group.
How do you tell which parts of the teic2004 are public? Public sections are click-able even when you are not signed in to Yahoo.
How do you tell if your address is safe or not? It's hidden after the @.
This is the current state of the tiec2004 Yahoo group. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Although we invite everyone to be active members of the community, the level of your involvement is, of course, your choice. Some folks just show up for the official TIEC gatherings, others we may see once and then they disappear into their town, and yet others are social maniacs and just can’t get enough. We are simply a community of friendly people that is available to you and hopefully will help make your time in Japan more memorable. The folks here are all great and it is a very welcoming and supportive atmosphere.
