Why shouldn’t the digital literacy sector harness the power of the Internet to create a single website where the “best practices” of digital inclusion nonprofits from around the world could be shared by all? Our site was nominated by Intel and won Computerworld’s international 21st Century Award as “the most innovative application of IT to extend the distribution of digital information and access to web-based programs and services to previously underserved populations.” We suspended our program when the NTIA contacted us to tell us they were developing a similar site and are thrilled that they have created this resource. Visit them at DigitalLiteracy.gov.
Senior Connects builds computer labs and teaches senior citizens inside senior centers, retirement apartments, and independent living facilities.

Computer Connects begun when a middle school student called the major of his city and asked if students could hold a computer drive in city hall. Since then, student volunteers have donated over 44,000 computers to K12 families, public libraries, schools, community centers, senior centers, and other nonprofits. Topics range from distribution results to a description of how to refurbish computers through imaging.
