In case you're looking for visual examples of effective integration of
technology in the adult ed classroom, OTAN has some videos posted at
http://www.otan.us/Itap/. Click on Video Gallery.

The latest ones are of a teacher using an Interactive whiteboard with ESOL
learners. You can see examples of activities using a projected Web site,
dragging text and objects, and making instructional software a whole group
activity. They will help you visualize what a class can do with an
interactive whiteboard if you haven't seen one being used.

There are also examples of using portable keyboards for writing practice,
ABE students making a calendar, technology use in a high school diploma
lab, and more.

If you check these out, let me know if there are other technology
integration strategies you would like to see videos of. Always looking
for new ideas.
