Hi, and if you are receiving this newsletter for the first time, welcome to St.
Paul Updates.
Next week's workshop will focus on Social Networking websites, including
Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and Ning. I also want to encourage anyone who has
not taken the Community Technology Survey on the library's website to do so
(see link below). Finally, I want to remind everyone that E-Democracy
volunteers are available every Monday at Rondo Library, from 4-6pm, to answer
questions about E-Democracy or any of the e-tools we cover in our workshops.
---NEXT MONDAY'S WORKSHOP: SOCIAL NETWORKING---
On Monday, March 10th, St. Paul E-Democracy will be hosting a workshop on
social networking websites at the Rondo Library in St. Paul. The workshop will
cover sites including Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and others, as well as Ning,
which allows users to create their own social networking site and can be seen
in action at <http://www.studentsspeakout.org/>. If you've ever wondered
about joining a social networking site, then come to this workshop to learn
more.

---LAST MONDAY'S WORKSHOP: TOOLS FOR E-CITIZENSHIP---
First of all, thanks again to Rick Mons for his help with Monday's workshop,
and thanks to all the SPIF members who suggested tools to include. We ended up
covering numerous tools for e-citizenship, paying particular attention to St.
Paul E-Democracy. If you are curious about any of these tools, or need help
setting up an E-Democracy account, come by our table this Monday at Rondo (see
below). The links from this workshop can be found at
<http://pages.e-democracy.org/Online_Tools_for_E-Citizenship>.
---TAKE OUR SURVEY---
If you haven't yet, please go to the St. Paul Public Library website
(http://www.sppl.org), scroll down to the "Community Computer Use Survey" and
select your preferred language. This survey is being administered by several
organizations that we partner with for our programming, and the information
gathered will be used to inform the discussion around community broadband in
St. Paul. Also, if you have taken the survey, please encourage others to do so
as well.
---TABLING CONTINUES, MONDAYS 4-6---
St. Paul E-Democracy's Outreach committee continues to table every Monday we
have a workshop, from 4-6pm. We are happy to answer any questions about
E-Democracy, e-tools or general computing. Feel free to drop by; we'd love to
see you.
Also, we can always use an extra person or two at the table. If you would like
to help improve computer literacy in St. Paul, please contact me at
<email obscured>
---DIGITAL INCLUSION ROUNDTABLES---
The City of St. Paul is moving forward with its Community Broadband initiative.
In order to ensure that citizens are part of this process, the City of St. Paul
and SPNN are hosting monthly Digital Inclusion Roundtables, at 11:30am on the
third Thursday of every month, at SPNN. The next meeting in this series will
be March 20. For more information, or for the minutes from the last meeting,
please contact me at <email obscured>
Thanks for reading. I look forward to seeing you at Monday's workshop.
