For the first time, I have Internet access for a GED program.

I would like to know how GED/Basic Skills/Literacy Instructors are using the
Internet.  Are you creating your own web pages and putting them on-line?  Do
you incorporate existing websites into your curriculum?  Are you using
Internet-based instruction?  What other ways are you using the Internet?
Also, have you seen any connection between using the Internet for
instructional purposes and quality of instruction and programming?  Does
using the Internet have any relationship to student motivation?  If you do
use it, what are some of your favorite websites?

I have links to two sites that are a collection of educational websites.
They provide many good resources.
