Subject: [EnglishLanguage 2051] Learner Perspectives at the ALE Wiki

The Learner Perspectives section of the Adult Literacy Education Wiki
has recently been updated. This section of the wiki contains an area
where students can try out their online skills by posting their comments
in a forum or by reviewing computer programs (as part of an online
survey). The page has directions for how to add and edit text, so that
learners and/or their teachers can become familiar with the process of
participating in a wiki. The forum has yet to be used, so your learners
could be the first! It would be great for a class working on their
computer skills. 

The Learner Perspective section also has links to publications that
contain student writing and links to some mp3s (which have learners
telling their own stories). This section also has a section where
programs or publications can post calls for student writing (such as the
recent call for Women's Perspectives #3 (2008) / Women & Money). 

The address for this section is
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Learner_Perspectives.
