News and a Free Webinar

[marlene]

Hi Everyone,
A group of former CTCNet activists met at the Chicago DexCom and
decided to try to activate a national organization that could meet the
current needs of local technology centers. We want to expand the
current steering committee. If you are interested please let me
know. We are exploring means of communication. Last week we had a
demo of NTEN's Community of Practice. I have attached a copy for you
to check out. Also, there is a free Webinar listed belowthat you might
be of interest and helpful.

Please consider joining the steering committee and let's see if we
can't get something going again.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Marlene Archer


Building and Maintaining a Digital Literacy Corps

Hosted byNTEN

Cost: Free for Everyone!

Wednesday, June 15 at 10:00 am Pacific


Volunteers are an essential resource for providing training and
support to libraries and computer centers. They can act as tutors,
trainers, and technicians, ensuring that computers get repaired and
new computer users receive the attention they need. Recruiting,
training, and retaining volunteers can be a challenge for
organizations with limited staff.

Attend this free webinar and hear from organizations that use
volunteers to support their digital literacy programs. Kami Griffiths,
Executive Director of Community Technology Network, will interview
Roberta Przybylski, Director of Austin Computer Learning Center to
share best practices on how to recruit, screen, provide training to
volunteers, and what it takes to retain them for many years.

>Register for the Event!

This webinar will be most useful for nonprofits and libraries that
have public computers and want to learn how to better utilize
volunteers to help improve computer literacy and broadband adoption.
