Hi,

I’m posting this on behalf of someone who isn’t on the list and is currently experiencing some problems with her e-mail so she can’t get on it anytime soon.  I know you all are a rich resource of information and if you can assist, we both would appreciate it. Here’s her request:

Maggie,

Thank you for sharing my question with the technology listserv.

I am looking for suggestions for engaging, adult literacy software.  We are expanding our literacy program to include computer labs so that we can immediately assist students that would normally be placed on our waiting list. I need software for adults and teens who are low literate.  I have found software for our elementary aged students that is very engaging.  However, much of the software I have previewed for older audiences is much dryer.  I do not want something for children, but would like something interesting.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Caroline
