The Biotutor Discussion List is an email Discussion List for biology teachers in schools and colleges, with students up to the age of 18 (in the UK this would include GSCE and A-level), and for those with similar professional interests.
The List is intended to be used for the dissemination of good practice, and to assist subscribers in resolving problems related to all aspects of the teaching of the biology in schools and colleges.
Organisations such as Universities and Learned Societies may also wish to use the Biotutor Discussion List to announce relevant schools liaison events.
Subscription and use of this service is entirely free.
However, the List is not intended for students. Consequently subscription requires a letter (on paper carrying the school/college letterhead, and preferably bearing the school stamp) to be sent to the list organiser :
Dr Peter K RobinsonThe letter should clearly state the name of the intended subscriber together with his/her email address (a telephone number is also useful in case there are problems with the email address).
