IKE Listserv Information

A listserv is a type of automated mailing list for people who share a common interest in a designated subject. Subjects could include education, computers in education, Internet training, etc. There are thousands of listserv topics.

The IKE listserv is sponsored by CIESE, the Center for Improved Engineering and Science Education at Stevens Institute of Technology. This listserv is primarily for participants and administrators associated with the IKE (Internet Knowledge Exploration) Project. This listserv will be used to promote interaction among IKE participants and staff members, to share information about useful Internet resources, and to support teaching and mentoring activities associated with the project. Important project updates will also be posted on this listserv.

How to Post a Message to the IKE listserv

You can post messages to the IKE listserv by sending an email addressed to:

ike@k12science.org

Remember that everyone who subscribes to this listserv will receive your message. If you want to reply to just the sender of a particular posting, you should address an email to that individual person by using their personal email address.

You should be aware of a "Netiquette" issue concerning replying to postings on listervs. From time to time you will see a message posted to the listserv to which you want to reply. If you simply use your "reply" function in your email system, you will be replying back to the ENTIRE listserv and not just back to the person who originally posted the first message. Thus your comments will be distributed to the entire membership of the listserv. This can result in a large amount of unwanted messages being posted to the listserv and may result in you posting comments which were not intended for the entire listserv. Try to avoid this mistake.
