The Adult Education and Family Literacy Special Interest Group (AEFL-SIG) is currently accepting proposals for the International Reading Association (IRA) Annual Convention (West) that will be held in Phoenix, Arizona February 21-25, 2009. 
 
The Adult Education and Family Literacy Special Interest Group (AEFL-SIG) panel presentations provide a forum for sharing information about specific areas of interest among reading and literacy professionals.
 
For 2009, the panel will focus on the use of Web 2.0 technologies in Adult Education, Family Literacy and ESOL programs and how they are being utilized.
 
Web 2.0 refers to the second generation of the Web. This includes Web-based communities and hosted services such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogging, and tagging, just to name a few.  These technologies are aimed at facilitating creativity, collaboration and sharing between users.
 
Being a part of the AEFL-SIG panel presentation is a great opportunity to……
 
·         Share your knowledge & experience with national and international colleagues 
·         Interact and engage in critical dialogue and discussions as it relates to your pedagogy 
·         Network with other Adult Education, Family Literacy and/or English Speakers of Other Languages practitioners 
 
Based on pass experience, the panel presentation is around 1 hour and 15 minutes. This gives each panel member 20 minutes to share.  Q&A is usually reserved for the end of the presentation.  The call for proposal deadline is Friday, February 8, 2008 (3:00 p.m. E.S.T.  If are you interested, please complete the online form located at
