NIFL-Technology Colleagues,

I have put together a 21-page annotated  list of free and commercial 
software for adult literacy education programs (a .pdf) based on my own 
experience and on the recommendations of adult basic education 
teachers.  You will find it at:

	http://home.comcast.net/~djrosen/softwarelist.html

I am posting it as a public document for the first time, hoping that 
you will let me know of any adult literacy education (including ESOL) 
software you recommend which is *not* listed.  Please, let me know if 
you find any inaccuracies or non-functional links.  And let me know if 
you find the software list useful.

Recently I did a half-day professional development workshop, based in 
part on this list, for adult learning center teachers who are 
interested in integrating technology.  The teachers were asked to work 
in pairs, choose a piece of free, Web-based software, review it, and 
present the review to their colleagues.  They said the workshop was 
very helpful.
