Educational Technology

Computers and access to the internet are fundamental to a child’s education. But what about families who can’t afford a computer, like the children who are in the foster care system throughout Whitfield County? A group of Whitfield County foster children took taking part in a Digital Literacy Camp, at the North West Georgia Trade & Convention Center in Dalton that will teach them state-of-the-art computer skills. The students will be taught Microsoft Office by certified professionals from Instructional Access Inc., a California based company. After the 21 hours of weekend training, the students will be allowed to take home the laptop computer and color printer they learned on at no cost.
