I heard that the Miami and Houston sessions were excellent. Perhaps some Southern tech list subscribers attended. Three more sessions of the same workshop are coming up over the next few weeks: March 13, Chicago, University of Chicago Gleacher Center March 15, New York City, Crowne Plaza Manhattan March 28, Los Angeles, California Science Center Below is a brief description of the workshops. For more information and to register, go to TRPI website at: http://www.trpi.org/dss/2001workshops.html or contact the TRPI Conference Coordinator, Leah Leander by e-mail: dss@trpi.org or phone: (909) 621-8897. "Digital Steppingstones: Smart Strategies for Underserved Communities in the Information Age," consists of five regional workshops on information technology programs to be offered by the Tomás Rivera Policy Institute during the spring of 2001. The goal of the workshops is to bring together regional experts to share their exemplary practical uses of technology in schools, libraries and community centers. The Digital Steppingstones (DSS) initiative explores the practical uses of technology in public access centers in low-income and minority communities. Funded by a multi-year grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, DSS has become an integral part of TRPI's on-going efforts to reduce the gap in access to information technologies and related training and services faced by urban underserved communities. Topics to be explored: * Practical strategies for providing access to computer and network resources in schools, libraries, and community centers. * Examples of successful information technology programs and strategies in local public access centers. * Key resources for information on funding, digital literacy, curricular and workforce needs. * How leadership is supporting efforts to access information technologies in underserved communities. ******************************************************************** Emily Hacker Moderator, NIFL Technology Director of Learning Technologies F.E.G.S (212) 366-8122 ehacker@fegs.org PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PASS ON THIS INFORMATION!!!
