History |
 Over the years, Plugged In has received a lot of attention
nationwide for our efforts to ensure that people in East Palo Alto
have the opportunity to fully benefit from all that the information
revolution has to offer. Although we are a local initiative, many
people have approached us for technical assistance in starting computing
programs in their communities. Here are some resources that may
be useful to you if you're trying to build a community technology
access program.  A great collection
of resources has been developed by the Community Technology Centers
Network (CTCNet), a national
network of more than 200 community technology centers. CTCNet provides
a broad range of support materials to its members, including a comprehensive
Center Start-Up Manual. The manual provides a systematic approach
to starting a community computer center. Plugged In is proud to
be a CTCNet member. Across the country, there are more than 400 community technology centers based in housing developments, as part of Neighborhood Networks, an initiative by the Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD). Neighborhood Networks has developed a set of resources that are available on the Neighborhood Networks web site. Although we have very little capacity to respond to the requests we receive for technical assistance and training from people around the country, we are able to provide tours of our center one day a week. We are also happy to offer internship opportunities. If you are interested in internship opportunities or for a tour of our facilities, please send e-mail to Rolando@pluggedin.org . School Center is a web based software application that allows all educators the ability to update their web sites without any knowledge of HTML or FTP. Since this software is web based, there is no multiple licensing fees' that other HTML editors have. At the School Center site; www.schoolcenter.com, educators can create their own classroom with this technology, and see if there is a fit for it in their school. When creating a classroom educators can create multiple choice review tests, update a dynamic calendar, or even post pictures of last weeks science projects. |
