Dear Colleague,
Last week, shortly after having sent out a "GLEF BLAST" announcing the
release of The George Lucas Educational Foundation's Spring 2000 "Edutopia"
newsletter on "Bridging The Digital Divide," we experienced a network
outage lasting approximately 14 hours. This problem severely limited access
to our Web site, including the online version of "Edutopia."
We are writing to apologize for any inconvenience this outage may have
caused you and to notify you that, the network problems having been
resolved, you should have no further difficulty accessing our Web site
(http://www.glef.org).
"Edutopia: Bridging The Digital Divide " highlights successful efforts to
increase access to educational technology, especially in schools and
technology centers. The issue also addresses other important aspects of the
"Divide," including content and literacy. Online versions of "Edutopia:
Bridging The Digital Divide " are available in English and Spanish at
http://www.glef.org/edutopia/newsletters/spring2000/index.html. To receive
a complimentary copy of the print version (English only), call (415)
507-0399.
The George Lucas Educational Foundation's focus on the Digital Divide will
continue with three new online features in May. The first in the series,
posted May 1, is "Student Creators": an exploration of three Web-based
initiatives that help young people create their own online content.
For more information about The George Lucas Educational Foundation,
including details about the newly available "Learn & Live CD-ROM," visit

Communications Director, msargent@glef.org.
