New Global Resource Website For Information And Communication Technology
(ICT) Literacy
Published on on Sep 11, 2003

Readers are invited to access the new website - www.ictliteracy.info - being
developed through the collaboration of a global partnership intended to
serve as a resource for business, education, and policymakers - all
stakeholders - in closing the gap between the rhetoric and reality of what
is required to efficiently and effectively take advantage of information and
communication technology (ICT) in the global economy.
This website represents a global effort to promote universal ICT literacy.
The "digital divide" in ICT literacy remains a reality that has prompted the
partners involved in this effort to collaborate on actions at the national
and international level for bridging the digital divide. They recognize a
priority need to achieve ICT literacy worldwide - thus fostering "digital
opportunity" for the children and the workforce of the new millennium.
This website provides a rich, centralized portal for the repository of ICT
Literacy resources, highlights innovative efforts and partnerships promoting
ICT Literacy, and facilitates the interaction between researchers, business,
government and educational segments. New surveys, studies and reports on ICT
literacy will be presented on the site.
Readers and participants in the field are invited - encouraged - to share
information, collaborate for strategic efforts, present leading research and
thinking in the area of ICT literacy, and encourage global leaders to
dialogue on important issues and consensus building efforts. We encourage
strategic planners, futurists, and thought leaders to share with our
audience their "out of the box" thinking and their innovative, radical
ideas.
Thank you all in advance for sharing this information with other
stakeholders as well as participating in this important undertaking.
