<div>Once students register, they can come back to the Adult Learning Center and use the schools computers or they can work online at home. I do usually get returning students and new students every week. So far, it has proven to be successful however it is still new to us. Arlington County REEP has used Project Connect for a long time. The new session which begins in July will have a $5 fee that students must pay each time they come to the skills building class. It is a reasonable fee.</div> <div>-Lydia<BR><BR><B><I>"Silver-Pacuilla, Heidi" <HSilver-Pacuilla@air.org></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)" name=Generator> <STYLE> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} </STYLE> <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

It certainly confirms what other practitioner-researchers are saying, that learning computer literacy is a great motivator and a great medium to engage adult learners. It is of concern, however, that so few adults who could benefit find the time and flexibility in their lives to be involved. We certainly know many are not able to learn computer literacy on their own for lack of access to the equipment. Researchers in <?xml:namespace prefix = u1 /><u1:country-region u2:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Wales</u1:country-region></st1:country-region> and <u1:place u2:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Western England</u1:place></st1:place> found that very few adult learners made use of public computers, either, although they knew they were available. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div></DIV> <DIV> <div
