NCET - Special Needs Dyslexia and Other Learning DifficultiesHere are some newsgroups (usenet) you may like to try subscribing to You will need to
use newsreader software (Netscape includes a newsreader or use Microsoft's Internet Mail
and News) to download, read and participate in newsgroups.
Here are some tips for finding good groups.
When you have downloaded your first complete list
of newsgroups you will need to decide which to subscribe to. Don't chooses too many
because some generate a lot of items. Try three or four to start.
Have a look at the groups that begin with k12.
The k12.chat..... groups are good for finding contacts for students.
Groups that begin comp.os are computer
operating system newsgroups. There is something to suit everyone here.
There are a growing number of uk groups for
a variety of subjects with a United Kingdom bias. Teachers should subscribe to
uk.education.teachers and there is a uk.comp.os.win95 for you Windows 95 users.
Whatever you do try to read groups for a while before you start to send your own items to
a group. Most groups have tight frames of reference regarding their use and if you send an
off-topic item to a group you may well receive lots of mail telling you not to do it
again! Many groups have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) which is posted to the group
regularly. Try to read that before you participate.
Here are a few newsgroups you might like to have a look at.
