Technology Literacy Collaborative

The mission of the Technology Literacy Collaborative (TLC) is to promote digital inclusion.

TLC is a network of digital inclusion supporters committed to sharing best practices, advocating for technology literacy skills and access, and promoting collaborative efforts.  Community Technology Center (CTC), or, Public Computer Center (PCC), providers and others concerned about ensuring basic technology and digital literacy skills for all, use the TLC as a support network.

TLC meets regularly to increase communication and share resources among practitioners in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area and beyond. Discussion items might include: trends, new studies, upcoming events, program design collaboration, sharing resources, training, workforce development, and TLC committee work.

Consider getting involved with TLC if:

• You work in a library, non-profit, employment center, school, park or other organization providing public computer centers or other community technology services
• You are starting a new public access computer center and want to connect with other practitioners on best practices
• You are interested in building digital literacy skills in the population you serve and want to network with others to avoid reinventing the wheel
• You are interested in sharing curriculum for teaching technology literacy skills
• You are interested in digital inclusion issues and want to collaborate with others on policy direction so that all individuals are able to participate fully in the economic, educational, civic, and social activities of our community
• You are interested in sharing your ideas, skills, and knowledge 

To get involved with Technology Literacy Collaborative, we invite you to attend one of our general TLC meetings, which are open to the public and can be found on the Calendar.
