Chapter 7 Reading Reflection

1. I chose learning objective 2- Explain how email, discussion boards, and list servers are similar and yet different. Email, Discussion boards and list servers are all similar because they all use the internet to communicate with the world. Emailing lets you create a message and send it to just one or as many people as you want. When you post something on a discussion board it is there for numerous people to read and its not as personal. Listserv is similar to discussion boards but a little more private. Messages that are sent cannot be read by everyone, just the specific people on the mailing list.

2. Is listserv still used?

3. For a class project I could encorporate a discussion board. As a class we could post some thoughts and see how others respond.
