Announcing the new YouthLearn News Blog

[Wendy Rivenburgh]

YouthLearn community,

We're excited to announce a great new resource on the YouthLearn website: 
The YouthLearn News Blog.  Bookmark the link: http://news.youthlearn.org .

Designed especially to serve the YouthLearn community, this new blog 
conveniently pulls together youth, education, and technology news and 
resources from an array of information sources, including discussion lists 
and electronic publications.  Entries are currently submitted by the 
YouthLearn team and organized into these categories:  News, Funding, 
Research, Activities, and Resources.  You can browse the entries, 
searching by keyword or date, and post a comment, if you like.  If you 
wish to suggest a resource, please send it to one of the members of the 
YouthLearn team or to info at youthlearn.org.

In addition, every other Tuesday, we will compile a newsletter with all of 
the latest entries in the News Blog and distribute it to the YouthLearn 
subscriber list.  The first newsletter comes your way next!  This way, you 
won't miss out on any important news or resources even if you haven't had 
a chance to surf over to the YouthLearn website recently.  This new 
incarnation of the YouthLearn newsletter is an innovative service that 
allows us to publish much more frequently and, hopefully, serve your needs 
better.  Please let us know what you think!  Write to us at 
info at youthlearn.org with your feedback.

Last but not least, we wish to acknowledge and celebrate the hard work of 
Lauren Penney, our VISTA volunteer this year.  Practically 
single-handedly, she developed the News Blog/Newsletter for the YouthLearn 
Initiative and has rendered many other invaluable services throughout her 
tenure with us, which ends this week.  Thank you, Lauren!

Best wishes and happy blogging!

Wendy, for
The Youthlearn Team
