Rules of the Road for Tic-Tech (as of Dec. 2, 2001). This document is
distributed to members on the first of every month.

Tic-Tech is a forum for the discussion and sharing of technology related
education issues in Seattle and beyond. Messages to tic-tech fall into
four general categories:

1) Distribution of information - timely information critical to the
technology infrastructure of Seattle's schools
2) Requests for information - asking for help, advice, or feedback on
any number of 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, and so on
4) Discussion and debate - of any of the above topics, to include
questions, elaboration, suggestions, etc.

Messages submitted to the list are approved by the moderator before they
are distributed to subscribers.

Posting and Replying Guidelines:
1. Your name and email address must be included in messages posted to
tic-tech. Not only is it good etiquette and a nice courtesy, it makes
life a lot easier for those who would like to respond personally to you.
While not absolutely necessary, including your location and/or position
is also helpful to list readers.
2. When replying to someone's message, include enough of the original
message so people will know exactly what you're responding to. Do NOT
include the entire original message (we've already read it once), just
enough so folks remember what the original question or point was.
3. Not allowed: attachments, commercial advertisements, profanity,
political agendas, flames, personal attacks, etc.
4. Please post messages in plain text only. For Exchange/Outlook users,
go to "Format", and then "Plain Text" before sending.
5. To SEND a message to Tic-Tech, write to tic-tech@tic.ssd.k12.wa.us
6. Be aware that a normal REPLY will go to the whole Tic-Tech list. It
is certainly possible to reply to only the sender - just be sure the
address you want is in the "To" field. NOTE: If you are using Outlook
Web Access (OWA), a reply will go to the sender, NOT the whole list.

Joining and Leaving (as of December, 2001):
Currently it is not possible to join or leave tic-tech. The moderator
is working on finding a reliable host for the list. If you have a
question about your subscription, email moderator Mark Ahlness at
mahlness@cks.ssd.k12.wa.us

List messages are archived on the web at
http://lspace.learningspace.org:88/hypermail/tictech/ Messages can be
sorted by date, author, subject, or thread - really handy for looking
though recent conversations in order, seeing who has written lately,
reading that message deleted too quickly, etc. It is also real easy to
respond to the poster of a message from this interface.

All of the above points are explained in much more intense detail
at the Tic-Tech on the Web site at
