Whether students are learning how to use Google Maps or to use the SEPTA website or to study for the GED online, since technology touches nearly every part of daily life, it can’t be separated from learning, said Michael Thompson, adult education coordinator at Congreso. “It’s not just about teaching the technology,” Thompson said. “It’s about learning how to use the technology to support other learning goals.”
