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.
