One Economy’s National Digital Literacy Initiative

One Economy Corporation recently submitted its National Digital Literacy Initiative (NDLI) to the Federal Communications Commission for consideration in crafting the National Broadband Plan. One Economy is led by Rey Ramsey, one of the 15 members of the Knight Commission, and has had extensive experience providing digital literacy training to over 3,000 young people in low income communities. The NDLI plan focuses on four areas for implementing and expanding digital literacy: delivering digital literacy efforts in communities, in schools, through online and mobile curricula, and through a national awareness campaign. The NDLI provides a blueprint for achieving Knight Commission recommendations 6, 7, 8 and 12 as they relate to digital literacy.  Read One Economy’s comments and proposal here.
