I'm looking to change the way the newsletter is distributed. My webserver, like many others these days, limits the number of outgoing emails to 1,000 every 24 hours. That is simply not enough to handle the number of subscribers.
I've been recommended a nice-looking service, but before fully signing up I'd like to try it out first, and that's where you come in.
I can send a newsletter out to up to 25 people free, on a trial basis, so that's what I'd like to do. Then I'd just like those people to let me know whether it arrived ok, what the formatting was like, and anything else they'd like to comment on.
If you' like to take part in this trial, which I intend to run next week, please reply to this (by clicking on Email the Author at the top of the page) with the words "yes please!", and I will sign up the first 25 people.
I do hope you can help me out in this. I'd like to make the newsletter experience as enjoyable as possible for both reader and publisher!
Also, I just wanted to tell you that there are some great articles coming up in forthcoming editions of Computers in Classrooms, including:
- Gemma and Melissa, two English schoolgirls, describe how they created talking books for their end-of-year project, using software that they largely taught themselves to use.
- Simon Widdowson explains why he loves to use visualisers (document cameras) in his classrooms.
- Scott N Wright talks about Facebook privacy.
- Tom Barrett waxes lyrical about a class exercise using Twitter.
- Plus: comments about the BETT show, questions to ask pupils during lesson observation, and reviews.
If you or your students would like to write an article about educational technology or information & communication technology, drop me a line!
Thanks for listening! And remember, if you'd like to help me try out a new newsletter server, simply hit "Reply" and type "yes, please!".
