Technology colleagues,

In the past we have discussed here new technologies such as mobile  
learning, podcasts, wikis. blogs, and internet telephony. There are  
now an increasing number of adult literacy-focused wikis, blogs and  
podcasts, and a greater use of internet telephony in our field. There  
is beginning to be more use of mobile phones for adult education- 
related purposes, for example through Jott.com .

Are there other new technologies that we should discuss here that are  
used -- or have potential for -- adult literacy education (including  
numeracy and ESOL) ? Desktop teleconferencing? Social networking?  
Presentation software? Electronic Whiteboards? New Google features?  
Digital video? Online education games such as Free Rice http:// 
freerice.com/ or World Map http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/worldmap/ 
worldmap ?

Do you have a favorite adult education-focused wiki or blog? If it  
isn't listed on the ALE Wiki New Technologies page, please add it  
there. http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Newtechnologies
(Directions for adding text are at the bottom of the wiki page.)
