Folks,

"Under Construction: Building Web Sites as a Project-based Learning 
Activity for ABE/ESOL Classes," is a new book published by World 
Education designed to provide adult literacy and ESOL staff developers 
and teachers with some simple, user-friendly tips on building Web sites 
as a classroom activity. Based on what we have learned over the years 
about developing a site in an adult education setting, each chapter 
discusses the major steps in the process, from planning and building a 
site to reviewing and testing it.

The book is also the centerpiece of the new LiteracyTech web site. In 
addition to the new/revamped Web publishing material, the site includes 
a new weblog, as well as a comments/feedback feature on many pages. 
Materials from our old site(s) will be migrating over soon, as we 
consolidate and move some things around, going back to our days as the 
keeper of the original Eastern LINCS hub.

Construction"

The Web Projects section is essentially a Web-based expansion of the 
print version of the "Under Construction." It includes all of the text 
from the guide plus many other additional resources.

The book is not intended to be a complete, step-by-step, "how to" 
manual or a technical guide to building Web pages. Instead, it's meant 
to be a companion to those kinds of books, specifically directed at 
adult literacy and ESOL staff developers and teachers who are thinking 
of building Web sites as a classroom activity.

There are three ways to obtain "Under Construction:"

-Download a PDF version of the entire guide (see site for details);
-Contact us for information about ordering hard copies; and/or
-Use the Web version (http://www.literacytech.org/webpub), which 
includes all of the text from the printed guide plus many other 
additional resources.

Jeff
