    Rules of the Road for tictech, as of December 1, 2002. This message is sent
    at the beginning of the month to all list members. Tictech is a moderated
    email list for the discussion and sharing of technology related education
    issues in Seattle and beyond.

    (December Thoughts: Welcome to 30 new members in the past couple of weeks!
    Lately, there has been some discussion about the very existence of tictech.
    Members should feel free to express their opinions on this - and other
    topics. I sometimes hear from those who are worried about saying things on
    tictech. As moderator, part of my job is to make sure list discussions stay
    civil and on track. However, what we talk about, as long as it relates to
    technology in education, is up to all of us. The more we discuss and share,
    the more we (and ultimately our students) learn. - Mark)

    Messages to tictech fall into four general categories:
    1) Distribution of information - timely information critical to technology
    in Seattle's schools
    2) Requests for information - requests for help, advice, or feedback on
    technical or instructional issues involving technology
    3) Sharing - letting list members know what's going on in classrooms, great
    web sites, hardware/software reviews, educational technology in general,
    etc.
    4) Discussion and debate - of any of the above topics, to include questions,
    elaboration, suggestions, etc.

    Quick directions:
     * To post a message to the list, send it to tictech@learningspace.org

    Posting and Replying Guidelines:
    1) A REPLY to a list message will go to the whole tictech list. NOTE: If you
    are using Outlook Web Access (OWA), a reply will go to the sender, NOT the
    whole list. Just be sure the address you want is in the "To" field.
    2) Your name and email address must be included in messages posted to
    tictech.
    3) When replying to someone's message, include enough of the original
    message so people will know exactly what you're responding to. Please do not
    include the entire original message.
    5) Not allowed: attachments, commercial advertisements, profanity, political
    agendas, flames, personal attacks, etc.
    6) Please post messages in plain text.

    Tictech is not supported by or funded by the Seattle School District. The
    Learning Space runs the software that powers the list, and it hosts the
    archive of list messages. The Earth Day Groceries Project hosts the tictech
    web site. Both are local nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations. Mark Ahlness,
    a third grade teacher at Arbor Heights Elementary, volunteers his time as
    moderator. All the above info and more can be found at tictech on the web:
