These conversation strings were collected and edited by Brenda Dyck and John Norton from the MiddleWeb daily listserv conversation. In 2006, the MiddleWeb discussion group was "adopted" by the National Middle School Association, where the conversation continues under the name "MiddleTalk." If you are interested in participating, visit the NMSA website for more information about becoming a member and accessing some great dialogue about "all things middle school."
