Melva and other NIFL-AALPD Colleagues,

Thanks. Melva. I would be glad to have more information about the GWU partnership in public health because, as you know, I am also interested in technology, which has provided a great segue to my second question.

It's similar to the health issue. Some teachers are not comfortable or experienced in using technology, but some students are, and know a lot about technology. Do any of our panelists, or others, have examples of students who have provided professional development for teachers or other pracitioners in the use of technology? I know this is a big interest, for example, of Harry Seda's, an adult learner leader, and I believe Harry has offered technology sessions at ProLiteracy Worldwide conferences. If Harry is in this discussion, perhaps he could comment. And perhaps there are others who can talk about learner and learner leader roles in professional development. Melva, if learners are involved in professional development in connection with D.C.'s mobile technology lab, for example, I would be interested to hear about that.
