Listserv....Useful?

For a little while now I have been using listserv for an English online class and at first I was skeptical because I have never used anything like this before and am not use to change. Ha! But seriously, listserv's actually have a very good purpose of communication. I have read an article called "Topics for peer to peer listserv postings" and have come across a lot of information on how listserv is still useful. It has mentioned that listserv can help foreign language teachers K-8 to communicate with colleagues who share similar interests and access good information. These teachers use Nandu listserv which, "...provides a forum of information exchange and discussion about K-8 language education." I feel listserv's like this one, are very beneficial for anyone; especially in education. It is a way for someone to get in contact with any given person, receive or acquire knowledge of a topic, and discuss it on a forum with other people, who agree or disagree. It engages a person to become more active in participation and knowledge seeking. I feel listserv's are only beneficial, and easy to use too!
