We’re working to find additional funding so that we can add additional “best practices” from around the world to further populate the DigitalLiteracy.org site.
During visits to Europe and Asia to discuss digital inclusion, Net Literacy saw that many of the challenges and solutions in societies with very different cultures were much more similar than different. How could digital literacy best practices and innovative models be shared with NGOs around the world and help foster an exchange of ideas and conversations to impact underserved population groups: by developing a website to share “best practices” successfully being used by NGOs! After Net Literacy piloted a beta site, we were invited to present DigitalLiteracy.org at iWeek in Johannesburg, South Africa, and then were invited to join the I-Alliance and this service received the support of Internet industry associations representing 270,000 companies on six continents. Computerworld honored Net Literacy with the 21st Century Achievement Award! Please enjoy some of the recent Best Practice winners by clicking on the tiles below:

What may be even better than DigitalLiteracy.org? Check out DigitalLiteracy.gov!
- Shortly after we launched the DigitalLiteracy.org website, we were contacted by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration
- The NTIA told us that they were planning to launch a site similar to DigitalLiteracy.org, which would also be a best practices repository
- We were thrilled that the NTIA was taking on this responsibility since they could invest much more than we could; and we talked with and answered questions asked by the company that the NTIA contracted with to build the .gov site
- Consequently, we discontinued adding content on DigitalLiteracy.org and for anyone seeking great digital inclusion and digital literacy good practices, we invite you to visit DigitalLiteracy.gov
