Subject: [Technology 1383] Send your students a phone message,yourself a
reminder, or....




Some thoughts with reference to adult literacy -

For busy adults working sometimes more than one job
and have little time/energy to work on self-literacy -

Use as a medium of instruction  - post, post-classroom
content as a thirty second podcast via phone, for
re-emphasis, recall and to share tips. For ex.
"whenever you see this word, it should remind you of
pronoun."

Among adult literacy instructors -
Sharing instructional tips, a change in instructional
strategy, change of content if it makes better sense
during teaching. This exchange as voice mail or text
message would enable other instructors to test these
immediately in their classes and communicate the same
with others.
