[rtpnet-tact] RTPnet Articles in Community Technology Review

[Judy Hallman]

To RTPnet TACT and members and friends:

I wrote an article for the Community Technology Review on RTPnet's CTC
VISTA projects. The article is now available online at
http://www.comtechreview.org/fall-2005/000362.html

There's also a short article on our class handouts, taken from an email
message to the Community Technology Centers' Network list at
http://www.comtechreview.org/fall-2005/000373.html

I haven't read all the other articles yet, but there's an excellent
article by Frank Odasz, "What is a Community Network? And Why You Should
Care!," at http://www.comtechreview.org/fall-2005/000347.html

More information about the Review is in the message below.

The Fall 2005 issue of the Community Technology Review is online now at

Maranda, and Gene Crick and coverage of RTPNet by Judy Hallman and
TINCAN by Karen Michaelson),
* community organizing and development (with stories on community
technology responses to Katrina at the Astrodome and elsewhere),
* technology assistance to nonprofits (including updates on what's
happened with Teaming for Technology), and
* digital media for youth (including coverage of CTCNet's Youth Visions
program and Mobile Learning in Grand Rapids, MI).

of these areas for future issues, or for any digital opportunities
program, check out the submissions information at
