dear Becky Blanton
has been coaching me a bit on this digital equity project.
Becky has personally experienced being homeless..
and talks about it here at TedGlobal 2009
and has an incredible site here
Becky led me to
She was telling me mostly about
of invisiblepeople.tv, who won a Pepsi grant to
create a website
that teaches
the homeless
how to create
an email address,
how to blog and
how to twitter.
She says...
the site will be some good, simple video. ANYONE who wants to can use/learn from the site. It is free. It's geared towards those with NO experience with computers or the web. The focus is to give homeless people web skills, but you don't have to be homeless to use/learn from the site.
Becky is working with Mark, she says,.... we believe that giving the invisible a voice will give them power.
Mark's current site is called hardly normal
(as is his twitter name linked above)
