X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.0 Status: O Content-Length: 1243 Lines: 28 Howdy. I'm involved in a pilot project to use technology in a family literacy program to help parents improve how they work to enhance literacy in their young children. I'd be interested in any resources people know of already out there in this field. Some of the things we've talked about are helping parents learn technology so they can access parenting resources on the Internet, giving them information about what public schools are doing with technology and ideas of how to support that at home (maybe including appropriate software to put on home computers for children), and also technology resources for teachers both in preparing lessons, maybe creating a website (assessing audience/purpose, design, etc.), and things like using a video camera to document interactions with children and analyzing them. We would like to come up with new ideas as much as possible, and would also be interested in building on good ideas already out there. So let me know if you are aware of such resources. Thanks! -------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvan Rainwater .
