Is anyone incorporating or thinking about NIFL's Equipped for the
Future's 4 Purposes to ground the work they do with technology, either
in the classroom or in program development?  

To refresh your memory or if you're not familiar with EFF, here's a list
of the 4 Purposes [from the 11/97 EFF map]:

1. ACCESS - information so adults can orient themselves in the world.

2. VOICE - to be able to express ideas and opinions with the confidence
they will be heard and taken into account.

3. INDEPENDENT ACTION - to be able to solve problems and make decisions
on one's own, acting independently, withought having to rely on others.

4. BRIDGE TO THE FUTURE - learn how to learn so adults can keep up with
the world as it changes.

I see how each of these purposes can relate to using technology in the
classroom, and was wondering if anyone has considered EFF specifically
when developing a lesson or a curriculum. Feel free to respond to me
directly or to the list. Thanks.
