Software?

David J. 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.

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.
