The toolkit points educators to
free, high quality resources that help address the digital divide in
the classroom and community. The toolkit, edited by Joy Wallace,
senior associate at the National Institute for Community Innovations,
is made possible in part through funding from the U.S. Department of
Education's PT3 (Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to use Technology) and
Technology Innovation Challenge Grant programs. We are committed to
continually enhancing the toolkit's contents; therefore, you may want
to consider revisiting the toolkit at least monthly as new resources
are added each week. Printed copies of the toolkit have been made
available through funding generously provided by the AOL Time Warner
Foundation, a leader in bridging the digital divide.
