Good Speech, Poor Tech Skills
Yesterday was my turn to give my overview of the digital divide in the United States. I didn't have an enormous amount of time, so I focused on explaining some basic statistics on the digital divide in terms of income, education level, ethnicity and disability. Additionally, I added my usual pitch for factoring the need for improving 21st century skills and a diversity of relevant content in the policy equation, which lead to some interesting discussions with members of the audience.
Unfortunately my own 21st century skills failed me when I tried to record an MP3 file of my presentation, so I could post the audio of my speech on the Internet. For some reason, the software I was using never turned on properly - I might have double clicked and put the recording on pause - so all I ended up with was a few seconds of pre-speech clapping. Oh well. I'll see if I can get the video they made of the speech so I can share that instead... -andy
