Hi Mariann,
I would also like to learn more about teaching our students make better
use of their cell phones.  Most students have them but many don't know
how to use their voicemail, pictures, downloading, etc., especially
older students.

The next topic I'd like to see discussed more is the issue of slow
computer learners- either due to lack of experience, age, low literacy
skills, lack of interest/need, no computer in the home.

Thank You, David!
What would others on the list like to see in terms of specific topics
discussed next year? If one that David mentioned is particularly
interesting to you please feel free to second the motion.

Regards,
Mariann

Hi Mariann,

I would like to see the Technology list introduce our field to some  
technologies in the context of their use/possible use in adult ed.   
These might include, for example:

1) mobile phones
2) web-accessible PDAs
3) tablet PCs
4) e-books and e-book readers
5) wikis for writing projects
6) electronic white boards
7) inexpensive (under $500) multimedia (e.g. LCD) projectors
8) video Ipods with high quality video goggles (intended for video  
but maybe useful for reading text?)
