As Ryanne Hodson points out, making media together helps kids learn about the issue as well as the technology. Says Angela, "Stacy is a self-proclaimed techno-phobe, but has waded into blogging with her students, who are very excited about their project."

Roughly once a year when I travel overseas, my wife Virginia puts up her hand and says “that’s the one!” I wrote about that visit in my last blog post: Digital Divide Data: our Partner in Laos. An unexpected bonus of this trip was how often Virginia and I came across social enterprises in our travels.
