[DDN] cyberactivism examples
Hello, all! I'll be leading a panel tomorrow at the Citizens for Global Solutions conference and wanted to ask for some examples from the DDN. Here's the session description: New Blogs, Old Tricks: on-line and on-air activism in a connected world Co-sponsored by New Mexico Media Literacy Project Bloggers, artists and media experts share their work and discuss how they use technology to make a difference. I'm looking for a handful of high impact examples to share in the setup of the session. I will be able to show some examples as well. Any ideas you'd like to share would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

[DDN] mambo
Hi, all. We're looking for a user's guide to Mambo CMS for someone who has never worked with php or a cms before. The documentation/help from Mambo's site is a little on the thin side. Does anyone have some recommended resources? Thanks in advance...

[DDN] Call for ideas: Media Literacy as a Tool for Social Change
Please excuse the cross posting. And, of course, feel free to distribute widely. *** A Call for Submissions to Community Media Review (CMR) The Fall 2005 issue of CMR will focus on Media Literacy as a Tool for Social Change. We are inviting individuals and organizations to submit media literacy examples, exercises, case studies, stories and articles about how Media Literacy is used for social change. Please think visual, not just theoretical. Send us graphics, cartoons, illustrations, digital photos, even video examples. We want to create an issue of CMR where people will not only think differently about Media Literacy, but use the issue in practical ways with community-based organizing, in classrooms, homes, and movement building work. If you make us laugh there may be a prize in it for you. The deadline for submissions is July 15. Contact Belinda Rawlins at [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or Jeff Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with questions or ideas.
