Rosen, Thank you for all your work on these two sites. I have only scratched the surface but see that you have truly the heart of a teacher. I believe the one of the next steps in education will be to better package resources for overwhelmed teachers to plug-in to. My district has millions of dollars invested in technology which goes to waste. Teacher have neither the time or the inclination to wade thru the dross to get to the gold. What is missing is a connecting mechanism between that great mass of technology and teachers. There need to be a filtering and packaging mechanism that better delivers complete lessons to teachers, ready made. The pessimists say that teachers have to show the motivation to plug in themselves. It is like the mountain going to Mohammed. It won't happen unless we figure out a limo service to better serve teachers. Nick Griffis Adult Education Inlet Grove H.S.

NIFL-Technology Colleagues, As many of you know, I am the author of Harnessing Technology [http://www.alri.org/harness.html ] and The Literacy List [http://www.alri.org/literacylist.html ] two Web-based resources for adult basic education (incl. ESOL) practitioners. I am updating both, and would welcome your recommendations. Have you bought software in the past two years that you especially like? Do you (and your students) have favorite instruction/learning Web pages? Tell us what they are, and why you like them. Meanwhile, the DL discussion will continue if there are others who want to add to it. David J. Rosen NIFL-Technology Guest mdoerator DJRosen@theworld.com
