Joanna Cummings of the Snelling Center for Government appeared on The :30. The Snelling Center is one of several groups that make up the e-Vermont Community Broadband Project.
The project is a 2-year funded effort that is working in 24 selected towns in Vermont to assist with technical education and help citizens bring more internet technology to their town. It includes rural towns that are underserved by broadband and helping towns to improve their e-government presence.
The center has a workshop on Saturday called Citizens in a Connected Age. Cummings explained the focus of the workshop,"We're helping people how to use the technology so when it finally arrives they'll know what to do with it."
"It's an internet technology workshop," she elaborated, "The workshop is based around training the trainer."
Subjects at the workshop will include: web-based communication tools for your community, Technology to advance social media, data security, digital story-telling, troubleshooting technology. Click here for the online registration for the workshop.
