is a discussion board!

I had to do these in college where the professor posted a topic and we were required to post so many tops with responses, and so it flowed like a conversation. Very neat. I wish that we had something like that for our teams. Right now, if I want my team members to communicate with each other, I ask them to hit "reply all," but I would love to just have a discussion board. For example, for this new summer bingo thing, it would be great! We could post ideas, success, and even failures for much-needed encouragement! Maybe if PC sees this, they'll think about adding it for us.

Or does anyone know of any websites that have this service (preferably free)
?:rolleyes:
 
You could schedule a chat on FB. Your team would have to be FB friends though.

Hmm that's an idea. But yeah, not everyone on my team is on fb. And to schedule one would be tricky-to get everyone on at the same time. I was looking for something like a discussion board where they can get on when able. Almost like here. I wonder if I could start something here! I could title it "Monk Cluster Bingo!"
hmmmm that might be an idea! I will have to bring it up at the next meeting.
 
I have a private FB page for my team and it kind of works that way.
 
Paulette - how do you set that up?
 
I tried something similar. It was a forum, but it was too much of a pain to maintain and many did not log in. I love the idea of a FB one, Paulette! Great idea. I too would love to hear how you set that up and if it's working for the team.
 
we a have a loop on yahoo, for our team.
 
How about setting up a yahoo group or google group?
 
Just go to groups and select add a group then in the privacy settings you select "Secret" then invite those you want on your team. I really like it but they still need to be FB regulars and be the type to check it.I also have a group like this for my GS troop. I like it but have learned not everyone is super FB savvy. There can be some education involved in getting people to know how to access it.
