NIFL-Technology Colleagues,

*Harnessing Technology to Serve Adult Literacy* is a Web page  
designed for teachers who may be skeptical about the value of using  
technology in adult literacy education (including ESL/ESOL.) It is  
also for those who want to see how others are using technology --  
computers, video, telephones, mobile phones and more -- in their  
classrooms.

*Harnessing Technology* is not merely a list of good resources and  
links.  It is organized by topic area and, under each topic, by a set  
of common teaching and learning problems faced by adult literacy  
education teachers and tutors. On the whole these are not technology  
problems; they are common problems in topics such as: reading,  
writing and spelling, ESL/ESOL, Family Literacy, GED, math, science,  
health, employment, information searching, learning disabilities,  
etc.    Beneath each problem is at least one technology solution.  
Both the problems and solutions have been suggested by teachers.   
That's why *Harnessing Technology* has a peer-to-peer practicality  
and richness that other teachers find especially useful

Please visit the updated Web site at:

     http://www.alri.org/harness.html

And please e-mail me a new teaching and learning problem -- and a  
technology solution -- and I'll consider adding it.

Thanks.
