The Digital Divide Network (DDN) is a national coalition of non-profit institutions and IT companies working together to help bridge the digital divide. DDN is currently seeking articles around a number of issues in this field. Read on for details.
The network's official website is a one-stop online resource to raise awareness about the gulf that exists between those citizens who have access to information technology and the skills to use it effectively, and those who do not.
One of DDN's goals is to provide community leaders, policy professionals and practitioners involved in bridging the divide with a public forum to share information, strategies and programs that promote the expansion of digital opportunity. We are encouraging individuals to submit articles that address the digital divide from a variety of social, cultural, political and/or economic perspectives.
Curently, DDN is seeking articles that address the following topics:
-women and information technology
-hispanics and information technology
-seniors and information technology
-software and Internet accessability for disabled users
-community economic development and information technology
-broadband applications
-broadband deployment
-international digital divide issues
-culturally relevant content
