What's New for the Crossroads Web Site?
The Arc of Northern Virginia Introduces Online System
April 29, 1996 -- The Internet is changing the way parents
of a child with a disability in Northern Virginia can access the maze
of services available to meet their needs. The Association of Retarded
Citizens of Northern Virginia (The Arc),
an advocacy and support organization for families and individuals with
mental retardation and related disabilities, recently developed an
online system called NoVa's Arc.
The system was created with the support and assistance from the
Morino Institute.
NoVa's Arc is designed to meet the communication and information needs
of people with disabilities, their families and friends and the
professionals
who work with them. Currently, NoVa's Arc houses all of their Information
and Referral files including information on
schools,
respite care,
residential options,
and legal services.
This new communications medium has revolutionized the way Arc does business.
Through NoVa's Arc, consumers can access critical information at any time.
In addition, NoVa's Arc has opened the door to explore new ways of supporting
the programs and services they provide. Eventually, NoVa's Arc will sponsor
listserve support groups for families with members with disabilities. These
groups will allow families to communicate with each other online at any time
of the day or night in the comfort of their own home.
The Arc of Northern Virginia is hoping to use NoVa's Arc to cut costs,
restructure programs and possibly generate income.
Electric Press Announces Turn-Key Intranet Sites
Reston, VA, April 29, 1996 -- Electric Press of Reston, Virginia
announced that it would begin offering
complete intranet solutions for businesses and other organizations.
Intranets look like Internet sites, but they are used internally by an
organization. They are closed network communications systems which use
Internet-style technologies (such as World Wide Web, email and ftp
capabilities) to help an organization improve its internal and constituent
communications.
Some examples of how organizations use intranets are: forming internal
discussion groups, distributing internal communications including policy
manuals and forms, providing direct access to corporate databases, and
supporting distributed teams of employees. Intranets are one of the fastest
growing applications of organizational network communications.
"Organizations now have a single way to access diverse internal corporate
information," says Duffy Mazan, president of Electric Press. "The Electric
Press Intranet is a powerful tool that streamlines the distribution of
sales and marketing support, personnel and training information, corporate
communications, among other areas." According to Mazan, what makes the
Electric Press offerings both turnkey and unique is that they include not
just the hardware/software bundle, but development of the initial content
as well.
Based in the KnowledgeWay, A HREF="[http://www.elpress.com">Electric Press is
one of the nation's largest developers and managers of Web sites. Priced at
$35,000, the company's Intranet service is a complete turn-key, fixed-price
solution that provides everything from the hardware server to the cables,
including Web server software, database engine, up to 100 pages of
formatted content, tools for database access and content development, and
more.

opportunity to position itself for the future based on some
emerging new strengths. I want to help shape that future

contagious. He said there was lots of interaction, questions and
sharing of experiences and ideas.
The Potomac KnowledgeWay will be starting a WebMasters Discussion Group
shortly on the Crossroads web site. The next Potomac KnowledgeWay class on

touch and speed of delivery.

Recycling: New Life for Old Computers.
And a New KnowledgeWay Action Team
Reston, VA, April 8, 1996 -- On March 12, 1996 some 20 regional leaders in computer
recycling and mentoring met at the Potomac KnowledgeWay Project's office
to compare ideas. Computer recycling is a grass-roots movement that is
growing thanks to the work of volunteers and organizations across the
country. Recyclers accept computer equipment donated from businesses,
institutions and individuals. They refurbish the equipment and get it
into the hands of people who can use it- kids in schools, neighborhood
centers, seniors facilities, underprivileged neighborhoods-wherever
there's a pressing need but few resources.
Recycling and mentoring leaders met and formed a new KnowledgeWay Action
Team which determines ways to advance awareness and effectiveness of
recycling efforts within the region. People leading efforts in Maryland,
DC and Virginia have been doing related work independent of one another.
They included:
- Don Bard the founder of the Lazarus Foundation, who works with
Cardoza High School students and other area schools to provide
computers and computer mentoring
- Michael Wiggins of Computer Reclamation Inc., which places some
450 recycled computers each month in DC and Maryland schools and
on-profit organizations
- Ken Chapman of The National Trust, who is involved both in providing
computers and points of public access
- Kevin Dolan, founder of the National Computer Recycling/Mentoring Association
- Tom Tate, head of Americans Communicating Electronically
- Bob Kelly of Second Chance, a computer recycler for public schools in
Fairfax County
- Paul Foldes, who has worked for many years in computer recycling efforts
and has compiled a directory of major initiatives across the US
Attendees also included: Adam Dennis, Fred Williams, Don Bard, Mark Root,
Dane H. vonBreichenruchardt, Joan Daly, Diane Perlman, Peter Bostrom, Zim Putney.
Participants found they had a great deal to share in common experience and
needs. While the team is still coalescing, some members are already involved
in the planning and coordinating of the first National Computer Recycling/Mentoring
Conference that is scheduled in Chevy Chase, Maryland, later this month.
By facilitating and expanding the regional efforts of organizations
involved in technology recycling and mentoring, the Action Team hopes to
enhance the communications and personal achievement of those in our society
who are at risk to be excluded from these technologies. The Potomac
KnowledgeWay Project is pleased to have helped bring everyone together and
to support their team efforts.
Virginia Telecommunications Summit Report Available On-Line
Reston, VA, April 1, 1996 -- The Virginia Technology Council,
in conjunction with the Center for Innovative Technology, has posted
their report on a series of telecommunications summits held across
the Commonwealth in late 1995. These summits were held at the request
of Robert T. Skunda, Secretary of Commerce and Trade, and the report
was submitted to him in December, 1995. Secretary Skunda then shared
the report's recommendations with Governor George Allen.
Between October 11 and November 21 four telecommunications summits were
held in Fairfax, Danville, Norfolk, and Wytheville, Virginia. On
December 12 the Virginia Technology Council met and approved reports on
those summits and ten recommendations organized around four key areas:
technology awareness and economic development; regulation; access, cost
and user facilitation; and education and training. Three of these
areas were highlighted as Virginia businesses' leading and most urgent
telecommunications priorities: Access, especially for rural businesses
and institutions; Education and Training, especially in workplaces;
and Financial Incentives which would provide locally matched awards to
localities that want to develop plans for infrastructure development
and deployment.
This report can be found on the
CIT Web site.
