We often find that we have to educate and involve everyone, that means our minority teachers and communities in the understanding of what can be with the use of computers. Community Groups source: http://www.edutopia.org/getstarted/community.php In the Digital Age, our best schools are tearing down the artificial boundary of the classroom walls, inviting -- depending on -- the community's active involvement in educating its children. Science centers, museums, hospitals, universities, business organizations, and parents' groups offer a diversity of vital resources and expertise to local schools. Beyond furthering the education of students, these school-community partnerships support the larger needs of children and families, thereby strengthening the entire community. International groups have to come to the table and be empowered with the knowledge of what might work. The UN Task Force has been working with this idea .. for some time.
