"I just recently joined this listserve, so I don't know who makes up
the members of this list. Sorry if I repeat something you have
already discussed. . . . . . A few of my many questions:
1. Do you know of anyone using TBL at the high school level?
2. Is anyone here a chemistry teacher/professor? I really need to
see an in-class team activity.
3. I have many specific questions. Should I 'clutter' the list with
them? Or maybe I can talk with one person specifically."
Regarding question #3: "Should I 'clutter' the list with [specific
questions]?"
My own answer would be: "YES, but only after you've searched the
archives for the answer, in which case the question would NOT
constitute 'clutter'."
More specifically, suggestion #1 of my universally ignored "Fourteen
Posting Suggestions" [Hake (2005a)] is:
"1. Search the ARCHIVES of the list before asking a question or
opening a new topic (it may already have been discussed ad nauseam)."
For the case of TeamLearning-L go to the powerful but seldom used
search engine at
<http://list.olt.ubc.ca/cgi-bin/wa?S1=TEAMLEARNING-L&Y>.
Karen's questions #1 and #2 might be at least partially answered by
the following searches [hit numbers are as of 14 June 2009, about
07:30:00-0700; TBL veterans could probably suggest better searches]:
"1. Do you know of anyone using TBL at the high school level?"
Type ['high school'] (with the single quotation marks '......' but
without the brackets [.....]) into the "String" slot to obtain 35
hits.
Or narrow the search to this: Type ['high school' chemistry] (with
the single quotation marks '......' but without the brackets [.....])
into the "String" slot to obtain 16 hits.
"2a. "Is anyone here a chemistry teacher/professor? "
Type "chemistry" (without the quotes "......" into the "String" slot
to obtain 36 hits.
2b. "I really need to see an in-class team activity."
Type ['team activity'] (with the single quotation marks '......' but
without the brackets [.....]) into the "String" slot to obtain 12
hits.
