I am one of old members, but not too old. I'm also agree with Veronica
and Steve. Online discussion groups engaged the people into some form
of constructive learning and they give us the more space for those topics
which we can not discussion in the classroom. We can discuss any sort of
teaching problems, wherever we are, what we doing, we are learning, I mean
Constructive. Also, we can extend our discussions from the boundaries of
the classroom to the listservs, this can also be possible.
