Hello, and welcome to the NextGen Digest!

Here are some ways in which you can use this group:

An Email Listserv
If you don't know what a listserv is, it is an email address that, when members send a message to it, it distributes it amongst the other members. In our case, the email address to do so is nextgendigest@googlegroups.com. Send an email to this address, like I am doing now, and it will email everyone on the list. Reply to that message, and it will email you reply to everyone. It's a simple way to have email dialogs with the group without having to login to a message board. The downside is it can clog up your inbox quickly.You can also read these emails under "Discussions" at the group site.

A forum to create and edit text
Check out the "Pages" tab to create pages. After you are done, you can publish the page for other members to see, and edit. Also, you can see what others have written and edit that yourself. You can then see previously saved versions for comparison. Upload files and documents to share Finally, you can use this group hub to upload files to share. Say you have a PDF to show the group, because it relates to a topic, or a

discussion point during the next meeting.  Upload it to the site (under the "Files" tab), and then email the group about it. Or we can just see it when we login next. 

Please email the administrator, Andy Welfle, if you have any questions about taking full advantage of this group and what it has to offer. Thanks for your participation!
