Mailing Lists (Listservs)

Electronic mailing lists are an efficient way to keep up-to-date with new projects since announcements are delivered directly to your email box. When you send email to a mailing list, all list subscribers receive a copy of your message via email. Mailing lists allow you to follow discussions, receive information related to specific topics, and communicate with your peers around the world.

Hilites
The Hilites list, moderated by The Global Schoolhouse™, is the oldest (started on FrEdMail in 1987... with web archives going back to 1995 ) and most reliable mailing list on the Internet for high-quality networked projects. Though other educational mailing lists may also announce projects, we recommend that you begin your listserv experience with Hilites. The list is professionally moderated and all projects are screened for credibility.

To subscribe to the Hilites mailing list, fill out the form below and hit the "Subscribe" button (requires a live Internet connection). You will receive confirmation within 24 hours via email. If your Web browser does not support forms, send email to Majordomo@gsn.org with the line "subscribe hilites" as the first line in the body of the message.
