I’ve seen Wimba software used is numerous settings, but this presentation listing is a first for me. The Library Learning team is hosting an online discussion via Wimba Classroom about whether or not inmates in prisons should have access to the internet. Here’s the description:
Internet access is a hot button in prison because of the potential for predatory, white collar criminal, and other dangerous activities. And yet, prison programming is designed to help incarcerated people prepare for success post-release. The internet has the potential to support both harmful and positive goals. Is there a way to balance the priority of safety with reintegration goals? Join Melisa Gilbert of Coyote Ridge Correctional Center (WA) as she presents and facilitates a conversation on the multiple points of view on this controversial issue.
Interesting stuff!
