He did send me three questions (below) that he thought could serve as a framework for our discussion, in addition to the questions that a few of you have already suggested. I also think it would be very helpful if everyone planning to participate in the discussion with Mark reads one of his articles, to get a sense of his background and approach to integrating technology into instruction. The article I'd recommend - because it provides a good overview and is not too long - is "An Electronic Literacy Approach to Network-Based Language Teaching," by Mark W. and Heidi Shetzer, online at http://www.newtierra.com/nblt.html * Are new information & communication technologies (ICT) changing the goals of adult literacy education, i.e., has what it means to be literate changed? * How can we best make use of ICT to help reach adult literacy goals (whether new goals or traditional goals)? * Does ICT only come into play when considering "advanced" literacies, or do we also need to consider ICT for basic literacy students? And if so, how? During the discussion period with Mark (2/5-2/16), anyone posting messages on OTHER topics please make sure to label the subject line of your message accurately, so those following the discussion can stay within the discussion thread more easily. Thanks. --Emily ******************************************************************** Emily Hacker Moderator, NIFL Technology Director of Learning Technologies F.E.G.S (212) 366-8122 ehacker@fegs.org PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PASS ON THIS INFORMATION!!!
