Are you using technology to help parents and children to gain the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century? Apply for the Verizon Tech Savvy Awards!

The awards recognize and support sustainable programs that help parents bridge the widening gap between adults' and children's understanding of technology. These two generations must learn about technology together so parents can be effective teachers and advocates to ensure that their children are literate in technology and prepared for the 21st century workforce.

Congratulations to the 2008 Verizon Tech-Savvy Award winner.... The Boston Digital Bridge Foundation's Technology Goes Home @ School Program at the Lilla G.
