GS54 is a "group" provided through a free internet-based service called "Yahoo!Groups". The site has a number of features and you are urged to pay an exploratory visit. Please click GS54 Notes for a page of additional information about GS54 features. This is the means by which we maintain a class email list. |
Joining GS54 is a two-step process:
First, you must register with Yahoo. On the Yahoo home page, click on "My Yahoo" or "Personalize". Next, click on "Sign Up Now". Then, provide the requested information and submit the completed form.
Please see Yahoo Notes. (Intended to be informative before you start registering, as well as helpful later.)
Once you join, when you re-visit GS54 you will see that the items on the left of the screen have become click-able. Check them out. For example, you can review earlier messages. But see also the "Files" and "Bookmarks" sections, and the "Database" section to see the "Chat" schedule.
Currently, a real-time, live "chat" is irregularly scheduled each Wednesday at 7:30pm EST. To participate, click on "Chat" and keep the resulting window open for a while (you can continue to work in other window(s) while you wait for others to join the chat session.) See Chat Notes.
Messages to be sent to the mailing list are posted to GS54@yahoogroups.com.
This site also serves as a registry of email addresses. Check
out the Members section.
Please keep your email address current. You can change it by going to
GS54 > Members > Edit > (upper right) Edit My Membership. You can
change and add emails from there.
Another approach is MyYahoo>Account Information>Edit Member Information>set
Alternate email. This is a good way to change an email. Verification will be
required, and be sure to designate it as primary. Then, go back to the GS54
group page and edit your membership.
If you run into difficulties, send me a note: Pete Gum I'm sure I can get things working for you. (Part of the fun in all of this is getting the technology to work.) If you wish, I can sign you up perforce, and you can sweat the details some other time.
[To subscribe or unsubscribe for just email you can send a message to GS54-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or to GS54-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com. (You won't have access to the other functions of the GS54 site until you register, but you will be able to send messages to and receive messages from the mailing list.)]
The GS54 group is a public group. Anyone can join. We welcome anyone in the George School community, or with an interest in George School, to join in order to observe and/or participate in the facilities the group site offers. In particular, we welcome George School staff and members of other classes.
(The Yahoo!Groups service is free, but entailing the penalty that we have to tolerate some level of advertising, usually appended to each email, for example.)
We rarely find that people have good sense unless they agree with us. Francois, Duc de La Rochefoucauld.
