This website will be useful for list members whose knowledge is westless.
Across the Divide: An Expedition into the American West
http://www.fgcu.edu/AcrossTheDivide/scouting_vol1.html
This document contains field notes from our Across the Divide, Summer
1999 Prototype Expedition, a 5,661 mile, 49-day scouting trip through
Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana. The trip set the
stage for the upcoming Across the Divide, Summer 2000 Expedition. The
Summer 2000 Expedition will include 20 FCGU students and 5 faculty
members. During the scouting trip I met with many fine people from across
the West. I asked that they tell their stories and share their knowledge
with FGCU students and faculty next summer. Their response was phenomenal.
Our students will have the opportunity to hear from Westerners from many
walks of life and to engage in a number of interesting field experiences.
I emailed copies of the field notes, "Notes from the West, Vols. 1-9,"
to individuals in the FGCU community as time and Internet access permitted
Sincerely,
David Dillard

A new study by global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney and Joint
Venture: Silicon Valley Network finds that technology access is still a
serious issue and a necessary precondition to solving the Digital Divide.
But the study doesn't stop there. The Digital Divide in
the Silicon Valley, the study finds, incorporates four components: a
workforce gap, an educational achievement gap, an interest gap, and a
technology skill and access gap.
