DIGITAL DIVIDE NETWORK REQUEST FOR SUBMISSIONS:

The Benton Foundation's Digital Divide Network (DDN) is a national coalition
of non-profit institutions and IT companies working together to help bridge
the digital divide. The network's official website,
DigitalDivideNetwork.org, is a
one-stop online resource to raise awareness about the gulf that exists
between those citizens who have access to information technology and the
skills to use it effectively, and those who do not.
One of DDN's major goals is to provide local organizations and institutions
with a diversity of voices regarding the digital divide. We are encouraging
individuals to submit articles that address the digital divide from a
variety of social, cultural, political and/or economic perspectives. Our
hope is to provide a forum for educators, policy professionals, community
leaders and practictioners to share their experiences so that others might
learn from their experiences. Among the types of stories that are featured
at DigitalDivideNetwork.org:
- How young people have successfully organized IT programs for seniors;
- The role of faith-based organizations in bridging the digital divide;
- The importance of crafting content that is culturally relevant;
- Internet-related school-to-work programs;
- Preparing recent immigrants for the information economy
- The challenges of creating a community technology center
- The spectrum of literacy skills needed to overcome the digital divide
If you are interested in contributing an article to the Digital Divide
Network (preferably 700-1500 words), please contact Kade Twist at the Benton
Foundation: kade@benton.org or 202-638-5770.
