This document discusses E-Rate funding discounts for internet access based on the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced price lunch and whether the school is in an urban or rural area. Higher discounts are given to schools with higher percentages of low-income students and schools in rural areas receive slightly higher discounts than those in urban areas. Eligible services that can be funded include basic phone/internet services, equipment, and wiring installation. Ineligible services include personal devices, software, and online content. The goal is to help all students effectively use technology by the end of the 2013-2014 school year. Strategies to meet this goal include integrating technology into core subjects and requiring higher order thinking skills through technology applications.
This document summarizes a study on the relationship between internet use and participation in protests across 42 countries. The study tested two hypotheses: 1) probability of protest participation is higher for citizens who use the internet as an information resource, and 2) probability is higher for certain citizen demographics (unemployed, middle-income, politically interested, educated) who use the internet. Regression analysis found the probability of protest participation was 52% higher for citizens who read news online. However, interactive effects of demographics and internet use were mostly insignificant. The internet's effect on protest participation was positive in most countries but coefficients varied greatly between countries.
Communication is the process of transmitting information from one person to another. It can occur through speaking, writing, body language, images, and other means. The communication process involves a sender transmitting a message through a channel which is received and feedback is provided.

This document summarizes a study examining the relationship between internet use and participation in protests across 40 countries. The study tested two hypotheses: 1) citizens who use the internet as an information resource are more likely to participate in protests, and 2) certain citizen characteristics combined with internet use increase protest likelihood. Multilevel logistic regression analysis found internet use alone increased protest probability by 52%. However, most interactive effects of citizen traits and internet use were insignificant. The effect of internet use on protest participation varied widely between countries.

This document discusses social justice and approaches to working on social justice issues. It notes that social injustice is experienced by many in society through being deprived of rights. Achieving social justice is possible by comparing different places on measures of justice and defining social justice in one's own context. Working on social injustice requires clarity of purpose, strong organization, resources, communication, and integrity. Systemic and structural changes are needed rather than quick fixes. No single group or organization can achieve social justice at scale; it requires social institutions and networks of organizations working together.
