Hi Everyone,

I am passing on this information about the ALE Wiki for those of you who
have not yet checked it out. Please read the message below from David
Rosen, organizer of the Wiki, and take a look at the Wiki!

All the best,
Julie

Colleagues,

The Adult Literacy Education Wiki (now with over 750 pages and nearly  
700 registered users) is becoming a very useful resource for teachers  
and other practitioners in adult literacy education.  It includes 30  
topics linking research, professional wisdom, and practice.  It  
offers easy-to-read archived discussions that were held on this and  
other discussion lists, links to research and other resources,  
questions (and sometimes answers) from teachers and other  
practitioners and researchers, a comprehensive adult literacy  
glossary, and more.  It's free, and it's designed for you.  Best of  
all, it's not only a set of informative web pages.  It's a community  
of practice.  You -- and your colleagues -- can easily add to and  
improve it. It's a wiki!

To check out the ALE wiki, go to:

http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Main_Page

You will see that some ALE topics need to be nurtured, and to grow.  
They need a Topic Leader.  Perhaps you would be the right person to  
be a Topic Leader. To see a list of topics and leaders, go to

http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Topic_Leaders

If you are interested in being a (volunteer) Topic Leader for an  
existing topic, or if you would like to help develop a new topic, e- 
mail me and tell me about yourself and your interest.
