<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>Thank you for taking the time to provide this wealth of information; however, it does on necessarily speak to my interests. After contacting J. Fleishman, I registered on the Otan site, but did not find any updated (beyond 1993) research. I am looking for resources that outline the <U>current </U>benefits and challenges of technology integration in United States adult literacy programs (Are there any obstacles/impediments to technology integration that persist since this research?( If so,what are the recommendations?) If you have any leads in this area, please let me know.</FONT></P>

<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align=left><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Arial" face=Arial color=#000000>Try going to OTAN (<A href="http://www.otan.us/" target=_blank>www.otan.us</A>) and searching for "technology integration." You will have to register if you are not already a member, but it's free and only takes a few minutes. You will get 18 documents. Some are repeats, but the annual reports on the technology integration mentor academy will give you lots of examples of technology projects that adult education instructors are doing at their sites as part of their participation in the academy. The Academy Web site, <A href="http://www.otan.us/timac/" target=_blank>http://www.otan.us/timac/</A>, also has some videos of teacher presentations. </FONT></DIV><BR>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align=left><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Arial" face=Arial color=#000000>There is also a collection of videos on technology integration here - <A href="http://www.otan.us/browse/dsp/dsp_videotechintegration.cfm" target=_blank>http://www.otan.us/browse/dsp/dsp_videotechintegration.cfm</A>. OTAN is an adult education leadership project in California and focuses on technology integration, so looking around on the site may turn up other resources.</FONT></DIV><BR>
