Mariann, 

I was part of a group of ABE/ESL instructors in Washington State who
wrote a set of technology competencies for our State Office of Adult
Literacy. You can find them at the state site at 
http://www.sbctc.ctc.edu/oal/docs/Adult%20&%20Family%20Literacy%20Compet
encies.pdf in a PDF file (go to the very end) or at
http://www.instruction.greenriver.edu/avery/Faculty/techComp.htm where I
have them listed on my college's website. 

We went beyond the technical considerations and also considered how
students will use technology for language learning, critical thinking,
and building independence. 

Regard, John Avery

Thanks for forwarding this David.
The NETS standards capture many dimensions of the uses and roles of tech
in
our lives and in society and relates it nicely to learning.

After looking at this is there anything that anyone on the list would
add
to the list of standards?

Best,
Mariann
