Webinar: Broadband Adoption Toolkit
May 22, 2013 1:00-200 EST
Increasing access and use of information technologies is essential for communities and individuals. Libraries, local government, community-based organizations and businesses are creating a variety of solutions. Building a digitally inclusive community requires multiple strategies, collaborations and creativity. Some digital inclusion strategies are referred to as “broadband adoption” which includes technology training, broadband awareness, low cost internet service and low cost home computers. In May, 2013, NTIA released the Broadband Adoption Toolkit (pdf). Join us for a conversation with the creators of the Broadband Adoption Toolkit and broadband adoption practitioners to discuss what they learned and how the broadband adoption pieces fit together.
