The Early Childhood and Parenting (ECAP) Collaborative is home to more than a dozen projects that focus on educating and raising young children. ECAP hosts research, technical assistance, and service projects.
REGGIO-L Discussion List

REGGIO-L is a place where early childhood educators, researchers, students, parents, and others who have an ongoing interest in the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education can discuss the educational philosophy behind the Reggio Emilia program, teaching approaches and essential elements of the program, its adaptation in the United States, and other related topics.

REGGIO-L is owned by the Early Childhood and Parenting (ECAP) Collaborative at the University of Illinois.

Mail Options

There are three different mail options for the REGGIO-L listserv: MAIL (the default), NOMAIL, and DIGEST

MAIL: Messages arrive in your mail box one at a time as they are posted to the listserv. This is the setting you are AUTOMATICALLY given when you subscribe. It is very easy to respond directly to messages received, but some people find that so many separate messages can clutter up their mail box.

Do NOT put a subject line in your message to and remove any signatures from the body of your message.NOMAIL: You remain subscribed to REGGIO-L, but new messages will not be sent to you. This is a good way to keep your mail box from filling up if you will be on vacation or away from your e-mail account for an extended period.

To temporarily stop mail from being delivered, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set REGGIO-L nomail

To undo this command, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set REGGIO-L mail

Set to digestDIGEST: You will receive only ONE message per day from REGGIO-L which includes ALL of the day's postings collected together. Digests are nice if you don't like wading through lots of separate messages, but it's harder to reply to any one specific posting.

To start receiving mail in digest form, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set REGGIO-L digest

To undo this command, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set REGGIO-L mail

Message Options

  • Acknowledgement:
    • ACK (Acknowledgement)
    • NOACK (No acknowledgement)
  • Reproduction:
    • REPRO (See own message)
    • NOREPRO (Don't see own message)

Acknowledgement setting
The Acknowledgement setting tells the Listserv computer whether or not to send you an acknowledgement whenever you send a message to the list. The setting options are ACK and NOACK. For instance, if you send a message with subject line "General Information", you can automatically get a message back from the Listserv computer that is something like: Your message dated XXX with subject "General Information" was successfully distributed to the XXX list.

Do NOT put a subject line in your message to and remove any signatures from the body of your message.

Acknowledgement: To receive an automatic acknowledgement from the Listserv computer whenever you post a message to the list, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set REGGIO-L ack
No acknowledgement: If you do not want to receive an acknowledgement, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set REGGIO-L noack

Reproduction setting
The Reproduction setting tells the Listserv computer whether or not you want to see your own message posted to the list. The setting options are REPRO and NOREPRO.

See own message: If you want to see your own message posted to the list, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set REGGIO-L repro

Don't see own message: If you do not want to see your own message posted to the list, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set REGGIO-L norepro

It is a good idea to set one of these options "on" (i.e., ACK or REPRO) so that you can know that your own posting has been received by the list. There are default settings for these options for each Listserv list. Each list may have different default settings.

Unsubscribe

If you unsubscribe from the listserv, you will remove yourself from the list completely and will no longer receive messages or digests.
