Today, the Digital Divide that seperates those with online computers at home and those that don't is getting smaller. More and more opportunities exist to help needy families get online. Here are some examples:
http://www.internetessentials.com/
http://www.centurylink.com/home/internetbasics/?rid=internetbasics
In both cases, families can apply for the lower rate. It does require demonstrating financial need, but it's better than being faced with full price. I also appreciate the effort to help families acquire netbooks and even basic Internet training. And I can assure families that those netbooks offered in these ads will work quite nicely with our wifi services in LPS schools and with our Google Docs services. Thanks to Comcast and CenturyLink for providing this valuable benefit to the community!
