For us there is no doubt the extratime and attention makes a keydifference in training sessions, andwe are extremely proud of theresults!
Lesson #2
: Outreach Benefits for Rural and Isolated Communities
Social Networking can bring re-sources, tools, and connect iso-lated communities with the rest of the world.In addition to accessing onlineresource materials that can benefittheir community, participants areencouraged to use the Internet toreach out to individuals outside of their geographic region.This outreach can inject new ideasand assistance to community issuesthat need attention. The participa-tion of others outside of the regioncan inspire and energize the localcommunity.
Lesson #3
: Participants Should beequipped to Teach and Share what they Learn with others in their com-munity
This makes the DSN project scal-able and sustainable, and allowsonline communities to continuegrowth long after workshops.
Lesson #4
: A Strong Foundation isneeded in Digital Competency and Digital Literacy for this Digital Fu-ture.
Participants will gain an edge intheir future careers by under-standing how Internet and commu-nication tools are beneficial.By developing their skills in Inter-net services integration, VoIP andtelecommunications and basicwebsite contraction and design,participants may be presented withmore economic opportunities thanwithout this knowledge.
While conducting DSN workshops,
our team’s education was just as
important as the skills we taught to every group. We have summa-rized some key observations in four lessons learned.Lesson #1
: Quality over Quantity
It is always better to focus on fewerorganizations and offer a series of trainings ensuring that those or-ganizations involved can developtheir websites and social media toits greatest potential.Instead of jumping from one work-shop to the next, and rushing par-ticipants through the program, wefound that spending more timewith each group and making surethere was ample follow upstrengthened the skills taught.We have participants who are notonly skilled in DSN, but are nowteaching DSN to others in theircommunity!
