Hi David,
It is Gina from DOE and Sussex Correctional Institution...
I looked over David's list, and of course the Inmates do not have access to the Internet.  He brought up the lower cost of multimedia projectors.  I actually have a 6+ year old In Focus that probably still works, but we have no place to project it in the two classrooms in PreTrial.. and I can probably say that is so for all of the classrooms.
What I have been looking for is some kind of "video out" device, so that I can send presentations with resouces from the Internet to a television..  I know that technology exists because I used it at Sussx Tech in 6 yrs ago... I don't know what it is called or who makes it.  I also have one very old Sony Vaio laptop... and plenty of other computer here.. to send the video... but how do I get it to the television?? 
Do you are anyone else have a suggestion for me?
Gina

David and Alex,

Here's a list of new or emerging technologies, applications, or  
technology-related services that I think -- or have heard from others  
that they think -- have potential for adult literacy education.  What  
would you add to this list?  Pick a couple (or more) from the list  
that you think have a lot of potential and tell us why.

1. electronic white boards
2. Video (and audio) i-pods
3. mobile phones with Web access
4. wireless access
5. Internet2
6. wikis
7. blogs
8. the OLPC/Negroponte/MIT Media Lab (under $100) computer for  
schools in developing countries
9. the Wikipedia
10. low(er) cost multimedia projectors in the classroom
11. Development of "learning objects" (online learning "modules) for  
the field.
12. Free/low-cost Internet telephony (such as Skype or Gizmoproject)
13. desktop videoconferencing
14. advanced two-way speech recognition software


Anyone, what else should we add to this list?
