Bring The Nerds

Don’t miss i2Coalition Executive Director, Christian Dawson speaking today at New America on the Open Technology Institute panel: Bring The Nerds.

Basic Internet literacy can help foster sensible legislative positions on digital issues. An expert panel explores whether legislators and their staff have the resources necessary to build competence on Internet issues. Building on ongoing research (and a forthcoming white paper) on what tools are available for Congressional Internet education, we will explore what education exists, and what we can learn from challenges that educators have encountered.

Follow the conversation online using #BringTheNerds and by following @OTI and @i2Coalition.
