Who has had positive experience volunteering internet education to those with limited resources?

I agree with the above comments that the digital divide is great within the USA. However, I can talk a little bit about going abroad to teach basic computer skills. A friend helped start a foundation in a mountain village in Guatemala and invited me to teach an adult introductory computer course (I used to work part-time for my university's IT department as a student lab consultant).

I taught about 18 Mayan adults in Spanish (their second language) and sometimes they translate explanations to one another Chuj (their first language). This experience has taught me about the language barriers that exist with computers and certain populations-- for instance, everything is in either Spanish or English and I wish there was more available in Chuj. I was able to encounter a number of tutorials online in Spanish, especially through the GCF Global Learning site (and a good mouse tutorial through the Ocean County, NJ library site).

To answer your question, I have found this experience rewarding. ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
