For stories: 1. Register with eGroups. Put your email in the field that says "enter email" below and follow the instructions. 2. When you arrive at the Havendialogue Zone and Storyspace after the registration process, you will see the message list. We would like you to initiate your own thread. Here are the instructions... To initiate a dialogue or storyspace yourself, above the message list on the Dialogue Zone & Storyspace page you'll notice a link that says: [Post to this group]. Click post and it will bring up a window that says POST:. In the subject line, type EarthStories Project: Name of Your School. Then in the message body field, tell about yourself--where you are, how many students are involved, what is the focus of your Earthday project. This is your initiating post. Click send and wait a few minutes. The message will then appear on the message list. Then for adding stories by the students, click on your own initiating message in the list. When the message opens, you will see a reply link. Click and it will bring up the reply window. Like email, it has the original message in the field. Delete this and put in the student stories. If the children's stories are short, you might want to put five or six together in one post. If they are longer, each student can bring up the inititiating post, click reply, enter their story and click send. Be sure NOT to change the subject line. This will make it easy to follow your school's message thread. Preview doesn't seem to work very well we have noticed. What you see there is not always what you get. Alas. If you're unhappy with your post, you can delete it and start again. And don't forget to read the eGroups help FAQ. Please contact us by email in advance if you would like to send students' images (jpegs or gifs, no larger than 200 pixels wide and 200 high please!) Put EarthStories Project in the email subject line. Once again, remember we are a small volunteer team. We may have to select a few images, depending on the volume we receive. We have a limit on how much our server can store. Thanks for your cooperation. |
