Abstract	Technology is a critical resource in adult education, yet opportunities for ongoing training and support for practitioners are few. This article explores an inquiry-based, collaborative professional development initiative focused on technology adoption, sharing the firsthand accounts of three adult education teachers who participated. Perceived benefits included ways for learners to build English language and reading comprehension skills, and adjustments in teaching practices to encourage increased peer-centered learning. Strategies for technology adoption are also provided through the teachers' examples, which may be useful for practitioners new to technology integration. (As Provided).
