Subject: RE: [Year 12 IT Apps] Non ITA list content --- from the 
Administrator


> Hi Folks and Colleagues,
>
>   This issue comes up every six months and is never satisfactorily 
> resolved.
>
>    From my point of view the following are the issues:
>
>   1. Despite the presence of 20 , yes 20 different lists with memberships
> ranging from 50 to over 500, all related to IT, the itapps lists
> remains the "go to " list whenever there is a question on any topic -
> even non IT.
>   2. Not all IT teachers are itapps teachers. Many schools no longer have
> itapps running and so valuable information never reaches those people
> unless they join or remain on the itapps list.
>   3. Those who are itapps teachers may not be working on or responsible
> for OT posts that only dilute the rightful place of the itapps list to
> help teachers teach itapps. So, their frustrations rise as they have to
> wade through the chaff to reach the wheat. This is known as a high
> chaff to wheat ratio list due to the non itapps posts.
>   4. A high number of non itapps posts reduce the quality of the itapps
> list. It can charm, but usually frustrates subscribers.
>   5. Several years ago, an offtopic list was set up specifically for IT
> teachers. Let's use it and get onto it.
>   6. Let's redirect or repost messages to the right list so we can better
> manage the content of each list for the task it is intended.
>
>   Surely as IT teachers we are capable of using the technology correctly.
> Let us encourage ( not criticise or condemn ) each other to use the
> correct list for the appropriate topic.
>
>   Happy hour in 10 minutes ....... bring it on

> Best Wishes

>> Hi Kent,

>>
>> But nobody seems to subscribe to the Offtopic list, which is why I

>> suggestions might come from this list."

>>
>> If everyone who started an offtopic thread puts the word 'offtopic' in
>> the subject, you can set up a rule in your email client to delete them
>> all automatically if you don't want to participate in these threads.
>> Otherwise there is a little X button you can use, combined with the
>> shift or CTRL key and sorting by topic it is quick to delete large
>> numbers of emails.
>>
>>
>>
>> Just an idea.

>> Personally I always think you never know when a thread might appear that
>> interests you (or someone says something that gives you a giggle!)-
