JASON Online Systems

JASON Online Systems provides electronic resources for students and teachers participating in the JASON Project. There are currently three components, the JASON News and Discussion Groups, the JASON Project Gopher, and the JASON Project Homepage, which can be accessed using a variety of Internet tools.

JASON Project News and Discussion Groups

JASON News and Discussion Groups are electronic mailing lists that carry information and discussion about the JASON Project. There are currently three lists:

News and Updates (jason-news)
This "read-only" list distributes press releases and updates about the JASON Project. Postings to this list will be made by the JASON Foundation staff and our affiliates.

Teacher's Discussion Group (jason-teach)
Known as the JASON Project Teacher Discussion Group, this list is designed for teachers using the JASON Project curriculum to share ideas, engage in ongoing electronic discussion about the JASON Project in the classroom, and coordinate collaborative student investigations using the Internet.

Student's Discussion Group (jason-stu)
The JASON Project Student Discussion Group is designed for students participating in the JASON Project. It is a place where students can share their work, discuss scientific questions related to the JASON project expeditions, and collaborate with one another on curriculum investigations using the Internet.

To subscribe to a mailing list, send an e-mail message to: majordomo@gsn.org

In the first line of the body of the message, type: subscribe and the name of the list you wish to subscribe to, either jason-news, jason- teach, or jason-stu

Example: To: majordomo@gsn.org

NOTE: By subscribing to one of the JASON News and Discussion Groups mailing lists, you will receive all of the e-mail messages posted to the list. If you would prefer to browse the contents of JASON News and Discussion Groups rather than receive the mail in your mailbox, you can do so using an Internet newsreader, gopher, or World Wide Web browser. If your Internet provider subscribes to the Global SchoolNet Newsgroup service, you can use your newsreader software to read the following newsgroups: schl.jason.news, schl.jason.teach, and schl.jason.stu. JASON News and Discussion Groups are also available through the JASON Project Gopher and the JASON Project Homepage (see below).

If you would like to unsubscribe from a JASON electronic mailing list, send a message to majordomo@gsn.org. In the first line of the body of the message, type unsubscribe and the name of the list you wish to unsubscribe from, either jason-news, jason-teach, or jason-stu
