Educational CyberPlayGround nethappenings mailing list
SINCE 1989 -- Going strong for 19 years
Dear Readers,
Welcome!
NetHappenings Founded in 1989 is the granddaddy of all education mailing lists distributes announcements about the Internet, latest resources, especially those that are education-related.
This is an interesting short story about the history of this free educational mailing list, moderated and published by the Educational CyberPlayGround.
In 1993 former biology teacher of twenty years, and internet pioneer Gleason Sackmann, was at the helm. Gleason announced his retirement in 2004 and at his request I accepted the responsibility of keeping this piece of internet history going. My name is Karen Ellis, and it is my honor to serve as tradition bearer and moderator at his request.
If you enjoy the mailings, please feel free to share them with others. The Educational CyberPlayGround and NetHappenings Mailing List remains a free resource thanks to the support of our advertisers -- so please click on ads of interest and visit our advertisers' sites.
HOW TO POST YOUR RESOURCE to the NetHappenings mailing list readers

FYI: Gleason used to send up to 35 messages a day, when email and mailing lists were considered a very unusual technology and only being used by they the rare and unusual folks in the education community, back in the day before web sites were ever invented. And back then we were happy to get them!
