Danielle.  I appreciate your feelings about my response, and perhaps you are misinterpreting my feelings and intentions.  I, too, believe that a listserve is a tool for interacting with the professional community and to share experiences.  I also feel it is appropriate for students to use the list serve to acquire information for projects, etc..  I also promote with my students the use of list serves when doing projects.  I just feel that it is important for the inquirer to show what they do know from their work so that others do not replicate information.  Also, as an educator, it is my role to make sure the student is an active learner and I feel that using a list serve to ask blanket questions do not indicate such.
 
I am sorry if I brewed up a sticky point that has resulted in you choosing to be defensive.
 
This is learning at its best!

Subject: Re: [OTlist] teaching module

I just wanted to clarify that I have plenty of journal articles and resources from online databases. The point of my email was to get an idea of what approach to take from professionals who can possibly offer me any advice. I simply was not "asking ohers to do my homeowrk for me" and I do not think that was Rich's purpose either. I did not think the purpose of the OT list was for others to be judgemental about the emails.

I understand the point of the OT list and I aplogize if my email sounded as though I was asking too much.  I have, in fact, seen plenty of other emails that requested much more info compared to what I was asking for. I hope those individuals did not receive a similar negative response such as the one I have received.  I hope to have positive experiences with the OT list in the furture and again, I aplogize to those of you who did not interpret my email corretly.

Danielle
