Wanda, You may want to speak with Karen Buller with the National Indian Telecommunications Institute www.niti.org
I just spoke with Karen yesterday about our efforts to bridge the divide on Native American Indian Reservations. I'm in discussions with a few Tribes at the moment regarding our Learning Center model on the reservations. I hope this helps. Chris R. Houska Instructional Systems Inc.

S. Swaminathan's Speech attheBaramati Conference Hi All, I am new to this list and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Wanda and I found the article at the Frontline site very interesting. Do any of you all have knowledge of similar models being incorporated here in the US to address the Digital Divide that now exists for Native American people? I know of some existing work being done both nationally and by individual Tribal Nations - and am trying to gather as much relevant info as possible. Thanks for any insights you can give!

S. Swaminathan's Speech at the Baramati Conference Hi everyone, I've just posted a podcast of Professor M. S. Swaminathan's speech this past weekend at the Baramati conference in India: http://www.andycarvin.com/podcasts/swaminathan.wav Prof. Swaminathan is one of the world's leading thinkers on the role of ICTs in global development, particularly in terms of poverty alleviation in rural, agricultural communities. The speech he gave this weekend is one of the best arguments I've heard to date on the importance of bridging the digital divide in the developing world. The file is rather large, just over 60 megs in size. I still hope to transcribe the speech, but I am not sure when I will have an opportunity to do this, so if anyone would like to volunteer, please email me. I would then post the transcript on the Digital Divide Network website. Meanwhile, I've also posted some pictures from the presentation on my blog. http://www.andycarvin.com permalink: http://www.andycarvin.com/archives/2005/03/podcast_m_s_swa.html thanks, andy -- ----------------------------------- Andy Carvin Program Director EDC Center for Media & Community acarvin @ edc . org http://www.digitaldivide.net http://www.tsunami-info.org Blog: http://www.andycarvin.com ----------------------------------- _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message. _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message. _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message. _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
