Most Japanese teachers use e-mail as a communication tool. Listserv serves a group of people with similar interest. If you become a member, you will be reading series of e-mail messages posted by other members. When you post a message, it will go to a central computer from where your message is distributed automatically to all members.
The list hopes to serve as an online community of those who are concerened with Japanese language/culture education. It will help networking, sharing ideas and supporting each other. Possible topics would be software and hardware issues, showing and using Web pages as a material, using listserv as a class mana gement tool, using chat sessions, e-mail penpal projects, making Web page as projects and syllabus, creating Web-based materials, on-line assessments, delivering class partially or totally on-line, related announcements, "Somebody, help!" and non computer related issues that concern the members are welcome.
Current members include teachers of Japanese (Elementary, Immersion, Middle/High School, Community College, University/College, Other Education Institutions), English teachers in Japan, CALL specialists, Language Lab Technicians, Engineers, Web Designers, Graduate Students and eager learners of Japanese. Geographic locations are US, Canada, Japan, Australia, UK, Europe, Russia, West Indies, Mexico, Southeast Asia, Central Asia and the list is expanding. Those who have non-educational domain will be asked to verify the interest/involvement in Japanese education, but it is soley for the purpose of eliminating the chance of spam activity. People without educational institution shouldn't be discouraged in joining the list.

TrackStar guides a user (student) through a set of sites (URLs). With this tool, you can make a list of sites that is always visible and therefore accessible to the user throughout the entire lesson. In addition, there are annotations that accompany every site. These annotations are comments on what to look for or a question that can be answered by browsing that particular site.
Ohh! Hanami!
