A terrific response Jackie! There is alot to consider from your list.
Two items in particular stand out:
"Integrating technology  into adult literacy tutor training"
and
"Integrating technology into the Adult Basic Education  classroom (not GED 
level, but more basic)"
For the past week or so a very dynamic discussion has been taking place on
the NIFL Association of Adult Literacy Professional Developers (AALPD) list
relating to technology integration. Moderator Jackie Taylor posted a link
to a doctoral dissertation by Elizabeth Dillon-Marable (see link below) on
how "computer technology integration is manifested in Adult Basic Skills
Education."
The question posed on the AALPD list which I pose now is: When we say
"technology integration" what exactly do we mean? What does this look like
for some of you and how is manifest in our classroom?
