I'd like to echo the sentiment that using technology is a way to motivate
adults to learn basic skills, and about their health.

www.healthyroadsmedia.org is a fabulous resource in many target languages
that you can see, listen to, and interact with.

Our provincial government has created an on-line health guide in plain
language that lists common ailments and treatments that you or learners
could use for personal use:

For general on-line software and shareware reviewed by learners and tutors
in literacy, you might click on the National Adult Literacy Database
(www.nald.ca) and search for the topic of interest, or check out their
treasure trove at:
http://www.nald.ca/resource/educational/category.asp?cat=19

YOu can sign up for their e-weekly updates of new resources on this virtual
resource centre and literacy portal on their opening splash page
at:http://www.nald.ca/index.htm
