Government Government entities make information they create available to the public in various ways: online subject to terms of use, by removing copyright and related rights, through government policy and regulation, through the use of custom licenses, via freedom of information laws, informally via norms, through the use of CC licenses and public domain tools, and through other means. By using CC licenses and tools to communicate broad reuse rights to the content, data, and educational materials they create, governments are stimulating economic growth, promoting citizen engagement, and increasing the transparency of government resources and services. Government Case Studies As part of our Case Studies project, we have started a wiki page to reference known government uses of CC licensing and public domain tools. Intergovernmental Organizations Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) are also using CC to share research, data, and educational materials they produce. Learn More Additional resources

Versto er en betviler av alt som har med konspirasjonsteorier å gjøre. Men forstokkede holdninger i embets medfør vil man finne, tilsvarende som hos Versto. Sikringen av åpenhetsprosessen Verstos kommunikasjon med etterretningstjenesten og hans bidrag til å oppnå større åpenhet er sannsynligvis for det meste av det gode. I denne åpenhetsprosessen må folket også sikres kommentatorer som har en bedre kritisk evne til disse kreftene enn det Versto har.

The most noticeable helpful feature of this site is how it is segmented into the support offered. There are sections for college capable high school students, teens with disabilities for an electronic community, high school graduates who continue to support DO-IT efforts, summer campers who have received technology and/or advocacy training from DO-IT scholars, staff or ambassadors, and DO-IT mentors who are college students, faculty, and professionals in a wide variety of career fields and DO-IT staff, interns and volunteers to coordinate programs, electronic communications, research, and dissemination. The Access section includes information for students on accessing college, an alliance for students in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, another alliance for students in computing careers, a center on accessible information technology in education, accessible distance learning and an alliance for accessing careers. by dbardwell Mar 22

Other helpful resources:In the Student Lounge I found College Preparation Resources for Students-how students with disabilities can prepare for postsecondary studies.Academic Resources for K-12 Educators- how K-12 educators can create inclusive environments that promote the success of college-bound students with disabilities.College Preparation Resources for Parents and Mentors - how to encourage and support college-bound young people with disabilities.This site has information and supports for both students with disabilities and the professionals who support them.

The biggest drawback of this site is its size. It does have a search field for only the site to assist with this obstacle. If I could change anything about this site it would be to have a video highlighting the features and resources on this site. by dbardwell Mar 22
