Karen Hoff (2009) in her TeamLearning-L post of 12 June titled 
"introduction" wrote:

[BTW: The "chilling" academic protocol "Hoff (2009)" means that if a 
reader scrolls down to "Hoff, K. 2009" in the REFERENCE list below 
and clicks on the indicated URL <http://tinyurl.com/nypspc>, then 
Hoff's post will be brought to her/his screen, so there's no need to 
hit the reply button (bane of discussion lists but the habit of many 
TeamLearning-L posters) so as to copy yet again her entire already 
archived post.]

"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.
