These instructions are for making email groups and sharing them with others.
This process would most likely be done by office staff.
Teachers do not have the access to create groups and share them on their own, so this is an ideal support for them.
To make the email system really useful for teachers (or others), you can create a number of groups, such as grade levels, subject areas, etc.
The handout includes a section on how to create and share the groups, as well as how teachers "accept" the groups being shared with them.
Handout:

Note: Do not use punctuation in the naming of your groups
Note: since the upgrade to Groupwise 8, in Summer 2011, the mac client software allows creation and sharing of groups. This cannot be done with the web interface.
