Faith and others, 

In my experience workshops that help teachers use various technologies and
integrate them into an existing curriculum have been very successful.  These
kinds of workshops can include different ways of using "low tech" media
(audio; video; overheads; automated systems - such as 800 numbers), along
with ways of using the "new technologies" - such as email and chats,
application software (such as Wordprocessing and basic spread sheets)  and
world wide web sites. 

Let me know if you'd like more details 

cheers

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this listserv; I'm also relatively new as Technology Coordinator
for
the Mayor's Commission on Literacy in Philadelphia.  I'd like to tap into
the
resources of the list subscribers...

I'm looking to schedule some technology workshops for the literacy
practitioners
that we serve.  Our fall classes, which were basic but well attended,
included
Computer Basics, Internet for Beginners, Evaluating Educational Software,
and
Surfing the Web for Adult Education Resources.

For our Winter/Spring classes, I'd like to introduce specific topics,
perhaps
more focused on working with learners.  But I'm open to all suggestions.
What
other topical technology trainings have folks on this list organized, which
were
sucessfully received by practitioners? 

Thanks for any ideas and suggestions!

faith
