This page was meant to be geared toward links to sites where newcomers to technology are brought up to speed, as opposed to from sites where those already familiar with computers are introduced to techniques of using the web and Internet. However, this distinction has blurred recently.
This site aims to introduce teachers to the gamut of technology, including the Internet: the ICT4LT site at http://www.ict4lt.org/en/index.htm. Everything you want to know about CALL is there. Look at http://www.ict4lt.org/en/en_contents.htm for a list of all the modules.
To begin with: A clear statement on coming to grips with technology has been prepared by Jack Treuhaft, Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology. See how to begin, or direct other beginners to Square One, at: http://www.algonquinc.on.ca/edtech/usngtech.html
Newbies and experienced users as well, be sure to check out the ESLoop!

A course on Characteristics of Computer-Based Instructions. Started in May 1997 under auspices of Temple U., Japan.

In the summer of 1996, I taught in the Oregon State University English Language Institute's Summer Technology Seminars, teaching those new and relatively new to CALL (computer-assisted language learning) courses in beginning with CALL and in CALL Evaluation, Implementation and Use.
David Rosen of the Literacy Resource Center of Boston Mass has done a study on technology and student and teacher use. It can be found at http://www2.wgbh.org/MBCWEIS/LTC/ALRI/alri.html#Publications
Office of Technology Assessment's Adult Literacy and New Technologies: Tools for a Lifetime. The OTA fell victim to congressional budget axe, but you might still be able to order a copy of the publication. It's broader than just ESL, but addresses adult ESL quite a few times, with several anecdotes and good references to further reading. You can download all 200+ pages in Acrobat Reader PDF format from http://www.ota.nap.edu Xenu Link Sleuth reports 504 Timeout waiting for Gateway July 26, 2002
