[AAACE-NLA] New National Education Technology Plan may focus more on adult education

[David Rosen]

Colleagues,

Comments by adult literacy advocates on the draft National Education  
Technology Plan have received some press attention in Federal Computer  
Week. I am not sure who reads this publication or how much attention  
this will get, but it is noteworthy that adult literacy and technology  
advocates (including me) have commented on the plan, and that the  
National Coalition for Literacy is now considering language from its  
technology subgroup, led by Heidi Silver-Pacuilla, to support  
including more on adult education in this Technology Plan.

To read (and add to -- by May 14th) the comments on the draft plan, go  
to http://www.ed.gov/technology/netp-2010

To read the article. in which it is written that "The Education  
Department is being urged to revise its draft version of the National  
Education Technology Plan to include measures on adult education and  
on accessibility for people with learning disabilities"  go to http://fcw.com/articles/2010/05/12/national-education-technology-plan-updated.aspx
