[DDN] Blogging from the Yale Access to Knowledge conference
Hi everyone, Right now I'm at Yale Law School participating in the Access to Knowledge. Several hundred attendees from over 40 countries are participating in the forum, which is focusing on strategies to broaden access to knowledge and knowledge-building tools, particularly for developing countries. There are educators, digital divide activists, intellectual property experts, free/open source activists, human rights campaigners and network neutrality activists participating in the event, among others. Yesterday there were half a dozen plenary speakers; I also moderated a panel on education technology and peer production of content, featuring Jennifer Corriero from TakingITGlobal.org, Saskia Harmsen and Jak Stienens of IICD.org, and Steve Midgely of the Stupski Foundation. I've posted a lot of notes on my blog, including a collection of questions I had planned to ask during my education panel before running out of time. One participant suggested I post the questions on my blog so people could continue the conversation online.

[DDN] One Week Left: Submission deadline for MacArthur Call for Abstracts is April 28th
Dear colleague, As you may know, the New Media Consortium and the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education, working in collaboration with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, are soliciting abstracts for chapters to appear in a series of volumes entitled the MacArthur Foundation Series on Digital Media and Learning. The deadline to submit an abstract for consideration is just one week away - April 28, 2006. The MacArthur Foundation Series will explore the intersection of digital media and learning from the perspectives of experts, visionaries, and thought leaders chosen from across the globe. As many as 60 authors will be selected to write chapters for one of the six volumes that will comprise the first topics in the series. The project enjoys substantial support; authors who are selected to participate will each receive an honorarium of $10,000 for their chapters. The Call for Abstracts contains considerable information on the project, submission information, and detailed descriptions of each of the topics. That document is attached, and can also be downloaded at http://www.nmc.org/pdf/MacArthur_Series_CFA.pdf Barry Joseph [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ___ Barry Joseph Director Online Leadership Program Global Kids http://www.globalkids.org/olp http://www.NewzCrew.org Sign-up for the Global Kids' Newsletter: Send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
