Here are a few links that have many possibilities for use within an ABE classroom. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Lots of good stuff here, but I'd like you to post more often. Our Fast Track students are, hopefully, about to transition into post secondary education and training, and they will need to be familiar with using these new technologies. Let's find ways in which to engage them more while they're with us so that it is not foreign to them when they move on. I know you have lots of things to share with our students; it's just the time it takes to commit to doing it. Believe me, you're "preacing to the choir" :-), but I think the ends will more than justify the effort we put into it! Go get 'em!
