The National Center on Adult Literacy (NCAL) has received a $175,000 grant from the IBM Corp. to give adult-literacy educators access to new technology. The grant will be used to provide hardware, software and network services for NCAL's Adult Literacy Technology Innovation Network, which trains and supports educators in the use of technology in adult-literacy programs. Dr. Daniel Wagner (below), professor of education and director of NCAL, praised IBM's commitment to educational technology at a recent press conference announcing the grant, saying that with the grant, "Adult literacy will be at the forefront of technology."
