Subject: [DIGITALDIVIDE] Report on: Youth, Pornography and the Internet
To America Connects and Digital Divide lists:
Although I have only browsed part of it, the report of the National
Academy of Sciences study on "Youth, Pornography and the Internet" looks
like it will be very helpful, especially to people who run community
technology centers, see:
http://www4.nationalacademies.org/onpi/webextra.nsf/web/porn?OpenDocument
Bob Schloss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recently posted the message below to
a list I'm on, and he said it's OK for me to forward it. Bob also says:
"... many of the authors of the report are willing
to speak about our conclusions and how we reached them
to groups that are interested.
Steven Woo handles dissemination
activities for the National Research Council's Computer Science
and Telecommunications Board (I've copied him on this note).
He would be glad to supply any help you need in posting the
right message to the right audiences.

However, I thought you might like to know that I was one of 15
members of a National Research Council study, requested through the
National Academy of Sciences by the U.S. Congress, on "Youth, Pornography
and the Internet" that was released today. The 18-month study included 5
technologists plus experts in social psychology, children's response to
media, attorneys, law enforcement, religion, parent advocacy, libraries,
web content publishing and so on. It was a fascinating process that led
to the most thorough consideration of the issue ever prepared -- a
document we hope will be of use to (older) youth, parents, schools,
libraries, industry, law enforcement, legislators, judges and others.
Our chair was former Attorney General (and former Governor of
Pennsylvania) Dick Thornburgh.

Subject: [WWWEDU] Gatsby, 1984, other modern classics on Web | TeleRead Blog on
digital libraries,
e-books and related K-12 issues
The Great Gatsby, Animal Farm, 1984 and some other relatively modern
classics are on the Web now--but with a catch. You can't legally
download them from the States.
Just the same, these new resources might interest some WWWEDU members
overseas, especially Australia where Project Gutenberg has posted the
material while complying with local law there. See details at:
http://www.teleread.org/blog/2002_05_01_archive#85060005
This is one of many library- and school-related items in the Web Log for
the TeleRead site <http://www.teleread.org>, which, as many WWWEDUers
may recall, advocates well-stocked national digital libraries in the
States and elsewhere.
Also of special interest may be recent entries on the following:
--The new Wi-Fi technology as a possible way to spread around e-books in
K-12 and elsewhere. Andy Oram, an editor at O'Reilly, has some terrific
ideas.
http://www.teleread.org/blog/2002_05_01_archive#85064209
--TeleRead and blogs (blogging has wonderful potential for K-12 teachers
and students, of course)
http://www.teleread.org/blog/2002_05_01_archive#85056847
If any of the blog-related links don't work--people with older browsers
may have problems--try TeleRead's main blog address:
http://www.teleread.org/blog
Outside the TeleBlog, some other useful items for K-12 folks might be:
--A budget-strapped Chicago school's stellar use of e-books
http://www.teleread.org/update20.htm
--E-books for reading-disabled students--written by TeleRead participant
Amos Bokros, who gives some valuable coping tips based on his own
experiences.
http://www.teleread.org/update20.htm
For occasional links to highlights from the TeleBlog and the rest of the
site, sign up for the TeleRead mailing list at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/teleread/
Feedback welcomed! What's more, we may be interested in contributions to
the TeleBlog from educators writing on relevant topics, especially the
use of e-books in schools and the need for well-stocked national digital
libraries. Keep the style informal and use anecdotes if possible.
