Sylvia,

(Ce message est écrit en français au-dessous.)

If you don't mind, I will forward this message along to our SERVICES
listserv. This bilingual discussion group has been created for the
facilitators of adult education classes here in New Brunswick (Canada)as
part of the NALD-NB Technology Initiative. 
	
With the support of the National Literacy Secretariat and the province of
New Brunswick, the National Adult Literacy Database (NALD) has purchased
Internet-ready computer systems and placed them in community classrooms
serving adult learners. 

We have shown the facilitators how to use the technology as a tool for
communication, as a research tool,  and as a tool for professional
development. 

Many of them are now experiencing with ways to incorporate the technology
into their curriculum. They may have some great ideas for you!

Bonjour Sylvia,
Je voudrais partager votre message avec un groupe de discussion bilingue au
Nouveau-Brunswick. Ils sont des formateurs et des formatrices des classes
communautaires pour les adultes et ils ont participé à un projet de
technologie qui s'appelle BDAA-NB.

Le Secrétariat national de l'alphabétisation et la province du
Nouveau-Brunswick ont aidé la Base de données en alphabétisaton des adultes
(BDAA) avec ce projet. Nous avons acheté des ordinateurs "haut de gamme" et
prêts à branché à l'Internet et nous les avons installés dans ces classes.

Également, nous avons donné des séances de formation aux formateurs.trices
à propos de la technologie comme outil de recherche, outil de
communication, et outil de développement professionnel.

Les formateurs.trices maintenant ont commencé à expérimenter avec les
manières d'incorporer la technologie dans les programmes d'études.
Probablement, ils vont avoir de bonnes idées à partager avec vous!!

Angela Acott-Smith
Coordonnatrice du projet 
BDAA-NB
