Technologies Across Nebraska

Technologies Across Nebraska is an initiative led by University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension and the Nebraska Information Technology Commission (NITC) to create awareness and provide education to help local communities, decision makers and citizens as they make decisions regarding their future use of technology as a tool to sustain the viability of their communities. The initiative provides a network of expertise to assist communities in locating current information on infrastructure, policy, education and training issues and opportunities. Over forty entities are involved in a Technologies Partnership. This group of organizations, agencies and education systems are working cooperatively to help communities create awareness of, access to and ability for use of information technologies.

Technologies Across Nebraska is kicking off a new project for 2006-2007. Podcasting Across Nebraska is a collaborative effort to help Nebraska communities or regional groups develop podcasts which promote tourism, events, recreation, historic sites, and other activities. Project partners include the NITC Community Council, University of Nebraska, Network Nebraska, Department of Economic Development, Division of Tourism, Network Nebraska, Technologies Across Nebraska, and Nebraska Lied Main Street program.
