Hello all,
The end of the year is always a good time to take stock of the past year
and think toward the future.
But why not think further back? The last 10 years in technology has seen a
sea change in capabilites as well as a in it's prevelance and relevance to
our lives(1995 was the year Yahoo became incorporated, and Craig's list,
ebay, and Netscape were developed and released, CTCNet was re-named and
experienced rapid growth through National Science Foundation funding).
Remember life before email, regular access to the internet, electronic
discusson lists?
For it's anniversary Yahoo published a 10 year netrospective:
http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/

So a few questions for the list. Please respond to any or all:
1. Do you remember the first time you introduced technology as a topic of
instruction to your students, what did you do and how did it go?
2. As we end 2005 how would you say technology has changed the field of
adult literacy education? 
3. How has technology changed and improved instruction? 
4. How has it impacted the lives of adult literacy and language students? 

Happy New Year,
Mariann
