Thanks, Marge.

I am intrigued. Can you be more specific? What Marco Polo lessons  
have you found especially useful for adults? I ask because I agree  
that Marco Polo is a terrific resource for high schools, and have  
thought it has some potential for adult secondary education classes  
and want to know more about how adult ed teachers are actually using  
it.  I am thinking of adding Thinkfinity to the Literacy List  
( http://alri.org/literacylist.html ) but before I do, I want to know  
more about how adult education teachers are using it.

Thanks too, Jeri for your detailed comments on how you use Marco Polo.

Does anyone else use Marco Polo -- or other parts of the Thinkfinity  
Web site? (www.thinkfinity.org)
