Our long-range goals are to enable a significant number of adult learners to feel comfortable and skilled in using computers and to learn where they can purchase low-cost (recycled or new) computers for family use.
VISTA members will perform the following taks:
- Enabling adult students to feel comfortable and skilled in finding useful information on the web;
- Assisting in learning projects such as helping adult learners to word process and desktop publish school newspapers and student magazines;
- With small groups of adult students designing and making web-based Virtual Visits of workplaces and community organizations of interest to adult learners and their families;
- Providing access to online and CD-ROM-based adult instruction in English language and other basic skills learning
- Adding to the Boston E-Square web pages
