Dear members of the list,
Most e-mail softwares provide the affordance of replying
mail at the click of an icon. You might want to take note
that if u only want to reply to the sender, only the
sender's name appears in the to:, cc:, or bcc:. If the
mail address appears in any one of them, then the whole
list would get the e-mail which is only meant for the
sender. (Gone were the days when we would think twice b4
making hard copies to various members of an organisation).
Another issue is the exchange of projects among students
from different countries. For example, a grp of Thai
students might want to know abt the implications of the
eurodollar on UK ... or the British 'A' level Economics
students wanting more information abt the collapse of the
banking system in Thailand, or the road pricing system in
Singapore. There have been a few exchanges of such
nature going on for the past five yrs, but they're all
funded research projects and most of them ceased after
funding ceased (c'est la vie). The learning potential of
such exchanges is great, especially when students are asked
to provide information for another grp across the globe.
Given the present state of communication technology, such
exchange should not provide a financial strain on the
school. In fact, students would be more motivated to do
research, knowing that they have an audience ... and thus,
moving them towards 'thinking like economists'. Just
wondering how feasible this is ... given the time and
curriculum constraint of the GCSE, GNVQ and A level.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Chirp
