Digital inclusion, community development and social justice

View descriptionShare

When a technology company invited a social worker to join their digital literacy project, it was because they hoped her social work skills would be “nice-to-have” additions to their “need-to-have” skills for teaching people how to use their digital devices.  But Anna Morgan had already been contemplating digital inclusion for a long time.  Anna brought her social work mindset to the project, called on her community development experience and aimed for social inclusion.
