Emily's expertise in instructional technology and her training background will ensure the continuity of the list and will add to the richness of the discussion. Below you will find her introductory message to the list. Jaleh Behroozi Soroui LINCS Director National Institute for Literacy ====== Hello technology list. When Jaleh asked me to come on board as the new list moderator I was very excited and honored. This is one of the most active and interesting listserv communities that I've been a member of. In my new role as moderator I will do my best to connect you to the kind of resources and information that you're looking for to help in your efforts to infuse technology into literacy services. I'll also alert you to policy issues, funding opportunities, conferences and other related professional development opportunities and publications. Here's a little of my background to help give you a sense of where I'm coming from. I am currently the Director if Instructional Technology at the Literacy Assistance Center <http://www.lacnyc.org/> (LAC), where I've worked for six years. Before that I worked as an ESOL teacher in NYC in various adult literacy programs. I became committed to exploring and developing technological resources for adult learners and adult literacy teachers when I saw how motivated and empowered my beginning level ESOL students became once regular trips to a tiny computer lab were added to the curriculum. In my work at the LAC I've focused on developing professional development resources, like the recently published Surfing for Substance: a professional development guide to integrating the world wide web into adult literacy instruction <http://easternlincs.worlded.org/teachers/surfing/index.htm> , available in print from the LAC and online at Eastern LINCS. Jana Sladkova, Instructional Technology Specialist, and I have also developed many web-based lesson plans and online workshop materials that are available in the Instructional Technology <http://www.lacnyc.org/resources/instructional.htm> area of the LAC web site. This is actually a transitional time for me, professionally. After six very rewarding years, I will be leaving the LAC at the end of December. In January I will begin a new role as the Instructional Technologist for the Bank Street College of Education <http://www.bankstreet.edu/> . This change will not effect my listserv role, however, which I will continue to do in association with the LAC. I look forward to getting to know you over the next several months. Please let me know how I can best meet your needs. Emily Hacker Director of Instructional Technology
