| Summary: | Communities have a wealth of technology resources and history on which to draw in thinking about and using technology in ways that support their values and goals. The technology connections that exist in a community may not be obvious, however. The activities presented in this guide are designed to help identify some of those connections and resources. They begin with the development of a History Wall, in which participants chronicle important developments in their community's history. In the next activity, Mapping Technology Spaces, participants identify the places in the community where technology is already accessible, or where access could be increased. Finally, the Talent Search produces a list of people and organizations that can help with technology issues. The time needed for these activities and style of conducting them, participants needed, and ideal space for conducting the activities are described, and information on note taking, feedback and follow up is provided. Included are feedback and contact information forms. (AEF) |
