for the three year USDOL National Ecommerce Demonstration project "Montana Choice"
( www.lone-eagles.com/future-proofing.htm ) and, in particular, a web-raising for 13 directors of Montana's Small Business Development Centers.
We used a wireless laptop lab to conduct a successful pilot Web Raising in a one-room school in Zortman, MT on the edge of the Fort Belknap reservation, courtesy of a USDA-funded project at the University of Idaho. Many past events are listed at http://lone-eagles.com/new.htm

Inviting local trainees to prepare them to host future Web-Raisings would be ideal as we could use their help
providing individual assistance, particularly with larger groups. Details on rates are at the bottom of this page.
Logistics: A computer lab is recommended, or a room with reliable fast wifi - if participants can bring their own laptops.
A large screen or white wall is needed for multimedia projections, we provide the audiovisual equipment.
It is important to be able to darken the room for ideal visual projections.
It is important to define the attendees level of digital experience, and ideally have groups with similar experience.
Older learners might want to bring along a member of the first digital generation for technical assistance.
While extensive online courses and resources are available, consider prearranging
for ongoing customized online instruction, social media feeds, and sustained collaboration.

Recommended Follow Up Online Training and Mentorship:
The 21st Century Learn, Earn, and Serve Academy, An Alaskan Project Adaptable for Montana Immediately: All lessons and media are online and open to the public. http://lone-eagles.com/workforce101.htm Resources include a blog, www.loneeagleacademy.com a wiki, http://nativehearts.pbwiki.com , a youtube channel, www.youtube.com/fodasz and a Ning social network, http://loneeagleacademy.ning.com .

Making the Living You Want, Living Wherever You Want.
The BIG opportunity is to identify broadband training best practices so Alaskan Native villages and all Native communities, with broadband can be revitalized. Currently, even those villages with broadband are suffering serious out-migration. The Lone Eagle Train-the-Trainers program for Alaskan Native youth on state-of-the-art broadband entrepreneurship is underway in Alaska. By learning these social media tools you and yours can reach more tribal members online that through any of your other methods, at less cost, and in the short term - or immediately. The lessons are online without restriction, free to all.
Two Graduate Online Courses for Alaskan Educators taught by Lone Eagle Consulting for the last ten years via the Alaska Staff Development Network and Alaska Pacific University include the following listing of final projects by teachers in these classes http://lone-eagles.com/teachercreated.htm The first two links are short online courses well worth a careful review.

The History and Future of Grassroots ICT Socio-economic Capacity Building
President Obama's expertise with social media as demonstrated during his campaign will now be applied toward community service, civic participation, community education, and stimulating innovation at all levels in America. Rural broadband training innovations toward teaching global citizenship, global service learning, and opportunities for educating youth to create micromultinationals have already begun. This session will review lessons learned from the history of U.S. grassroots organizations for community technology centers, community networks and will address the latest trends in use of social media for measurable socio-economic capacity-building.
