I cannot put together a detailed outline without writing the paper. It looks like a good start. Question - is Digital Communities the name of your service learning organization? Good luck.

Question – is Digital Communities the name of your service learning organization?

Good luck.

Through your blog, I know you've had a hard time to find your service learning place. So as Tim mentioned above, good luck with everything! You will get through this semester!

Here are a few ideas I had reading your outline: - You will need to do a literature review to set up the paper. It should be a section distinct from the Introduction and it should identify the major schools of thought important for your paper. perhaps Section III on the Digital Divide should be section IIa and Section IIb would be a summary of the service-learning theory and literature. You might also want to review the literature on online communities in Section IIc. Then you would transition into digital communities in Section III. - I like the idea behind Section 4 and I hope it will contain something about the non-service-learning ways to bridge the gap, such as training librarians, better education for kids and adult learners, community technology centers, and other things you can find. - In section 5, you might want to to create subsections, such as 5a Challenges getting in the field, 5b Connecting with the church group, 5c anything about the members of the group who use these communities, and 5d, everything you learned about the digital divide from your SL sessions.

Seriously, though, I think this is a great start, if only because the number of sections and subsections you have will make getting the full 15 pages an easier task.

I'll be interested to see some of your online sources and solutions to bridging the gap. Best of luck, Kate Hi Carla,

Simply writing "awk" in the margin to scold bad writing is tame compared to some of the tongue lashings and derisive comments I received in my training. Remember it is not personal; it is a culture of elite knowledge that trains academics to push students to do a lot more work than most students would prefer. Hang in there! I am glad you are looking to service-learning as a way to show you can make a difference. Professors are often blunt and can be cruel in their choice of words.
