Thanks, Liz and all - read on for recommendations from Stan Ashlock in San
Marcos TX, director of Project Interalt 
http://cic.ci.swt.edu/interalt/links.html -  check it out 



Internet for English Teaching by Mark Warschauer, Heidi Shetzer, And
Christine Meloni (2000? or 2001)
http://www.tesol.org/pubs/catalog/tech.html#889
Another good book is "How Teachers Learn Technology Best" by Jamie
McKenzie. 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"

Heide:

A not-so-recent book I found useful that talks about how technology
can be used in adult literacy teaching is:
Anderson, Jonathan (1991) Technology and Adult Literacy, Routledge: 	
London and New York.

>From memory, Anderson is writing about teaching done in Australia.
