We call our message board forum the Online Exchange. We host Exchanges on a regular basis. Each one focuses on a different topic that our users have told us is important to them. The Exchanges include experts working at the local and national level and give our users the opportunity to exchange resources, ideas, curricula, and more. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RESOURCES AFTER June 13TH? The resources will remain on Contentbank indefinitely. In addition, we will post a summary of the Exchange and highlight the best resources in other areas of Contentbank. WHAT IS CONTENTBANK? Contentbank is a project of The Children's Partnership, http://www.childrenspartnership.org, a national nonprofit child advocacy organization, with generous support from the Markle Foundation and the AOL Time Warner Foundation. Contentbank has three major goals: *To identify what online content low-income users want, examples of what exists, and what still needs to be created; *To make it easier for community-based organizations and the individuals they serve to create their own content; and *To encourage the public and private sectors to develop usable content for low-income and underserved Americans. WHAT IS THE CHILDRENšS PARTNERSHIP? The Children's Partnership (www.childrenspartnership.org) is a national, nonprofit organization that undertakes research, analysis, and advocacy to place the needs of America's nearly 70 million children and youth, particularly the underserved, at the forefront of emerging policy debates.
