On Wednesday, August 5, Neighborhood Networks observes Get Connected
Day as part of Neighborhood Networks Week 2009 (August 3 - 8). On
Get Connected Day, centers are encouraged to highlight the many
ways they deliver technology access and enhance residents' technological
skills, as well as showcase the critical role technology plays in
today's society. Centers may choose to host tours of their computer
labs, offer a basic Internet workshop, or have residents, young
and old, lead basic computer skills training workshops.
The Neighborhood
Networks Week Event Planning Guide offers a variety of event
ideas and tips for planning a successful Get Connected Day event.
A copy of the guide will be available soon to be downloaded from the Neighborhood Networks
Web site, or you can request a copy by calling the Neighborhood
Networks Information Center toll-free at (888) 312-2743. The hearing
impaired may access the number via TTY by calling the Federal Information
Relay Service at (800) 877-8339.
