George, and others,
>From the Harnessing Technology Web Page --
http://www2.wgbh.org/mbcweis/ltc/alri/integratech.html#ADMIN
comes one answer to your question about useful databases for adult
literacy programs. I urge-NIFL Technology list members to review the
Harnessing Technology Web Page regularly as new problems -- posed by
practitioners -- and new solutions involving technology (mostly from
practitioners) are added frequently. (Those who provide solutions are
given the Web address of a more frequently updated version.)
