"Integrating Digital literacy and Problem Solving into Instruction," by Steve Quann (2015), includes project-based lesson ideas for adult students to improve their skills in using technology to solve problems and communicate with others, while increasing their digital literacy skills and access to technology.
From the Abstract: "Integrating Digital literacy and Problem Solving into Instruction accelerates learning for adult students by improving their use of technology to solve problems and communicate with others, while increasing their digital literacy and access. The project-based lessons can be adapted for use in most ESOL or ABE classrooms and used to provide reading and writing as well as speaking and listening practice while students improve their 21st century skills of problem solving, technology use and teamwork. One of the goals is for adult students to learn about low-cost broadband opportunities for adult students. Lessons involve students in learning about which libraries have free computer access, and then using Google maps to locate them. Another lesson educates learners about low-cost deals through Everyone On and asks them to share the information with others via posters or presentations."
