I am the CEO of WiHood, a service provider focused on closing the digital divide and protecting children while online. We provide children with a virtual desktop that provides every child with the latest services and applications while also filtering the web while they surf. We are working with a school in Oslo, Norway to begin integrating their academic curriculum into the WiHood desktop. In New York City, we are working with the Boys' Club of New York to introduce WiHood to families throughout NYC that want to close the digital divide in their schools. I am a Puerto Rican male who grew up within an education system that sounds similar to what you have described you are trying to improve. I think we have many things in common and it would be very interesting to discuss how we can help one another. Please contact me if you find WiHood interesting and would like to discuss. You can email me at Thomas(at)WiHood(dot)com. Thomas F. Anglero, CEO WiHood http://www.WiHood.com Hello Technicolor,

This edublogging community is a talkative one, with many voices and yours is certainly welcome. The digital divide is real, as you say, and you will always find people here willing to explore ideas about how to address it. You're in the right place. :-) I teach in a large independent school in Sydney Australia,and I'll have to be honest and say that we are very lucky in that regard... many of the students come from fairly fortunate backgrounds and the digital divide of haves and have-nots is not really a big issue in our school. However, I know that it is a huge deal for many, many people around the world so I need to hear what you have to say to keep me grounded and to remind me that there are others who are not as lucky as some of the students I teach. This is one of the great things about this global conversation... it keeps us all in touch with how education works in so many other situations. So welcome. :-) Pass on my greetings from Australia to your students! Hey there Technicolor, welcome to the conversation, great to have you as part of it.
