Welcome to the latest collaboration of the geoscience education
research and geocognition research community – the Geoscience
Education Research Listserv (GEOED-RESEARCH)! This list is exactly
the outcome we hoped would come out of the interest group meeting
held at GSA in Oct. 2007. Several organizations and universities
offered to host this list, a great illustration of the significant
interest the community has in moving our common research interests
forward! We didn’t want to choose among all of these options, so we
went with the simplest route. The list is running off of a mailing-
list management product called LISTSERV, licensed through Michigan
State University. We are co-hosting the list, so it is truly multi-
institutional, and the list is designed so that anyone can join and
post. Instructions for easy subscribing and emailing to the list are
appended below. We have also added a few guidelines for list-serve
etiquette!
We hope this listserv allows for open dialogue and new
collaborations. Please encourage those of your colleagues interested
in geoscience education research to join, whether they are active
researchers, avid readers, or interested collaborators. We are
looking forward to the opportunity to share ideas, and learn from
each other.
Let the conversations begin!

4) SOME LISTSERV ETIQUETTE SUGGESTIONS
a. Use the list-serve to ask questions, share research findings, post
job ads, or anything related to geoscience education research.
b. Be professional in responding to others on the list-serve.
c. Please do not use the list-serve to share jokes, recipes, or chat
about the weather. We all get too much spam email as it is!
d. Don’t use attachments, as some people may not be able to read
