He has 2 other books, Planning for Good Change with Literacy and Technology and Beyond Technology: Questioning, Research and the Information Literate School that we have purchased but I have not read yet. http://fnopress.org/books.html Also recommended is Susan Cowles' NIFL Fellowship publication, Teaching & Learning with Internet-based Resources, Vol. 3 No. 2, 1997. Susan Cowles. ED Pubs document EX0082P. By the way, although Jamie McKenzie writes from a K-12 perspective, the points he raises are clearly applicable to adult literacy. Besides, I love to quote his saying "Good teaching is more important than good hardware" Jamie McKenzie Heide Spruck Wrigley Memphis, Tennessee (at the moment) -----Original Message----- From: Liz or Julian Matthews [mailto:liz.matthews@xtra.co.nz] Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 4:52 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-TECHNOLOGY:1649] RE: Digital Divide Network - New Website!
