Chicanas & the Internet at MALCS

I must say I was very excited that this years MALCS at UCSC included workshops on the internet! (fyi, MALCS stands for Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social and their official website is www.malcs.net).

I attended a workshop titled "10 Reasons for Chicana Academics to Love the 'Net." The facilitators, Susana Gallardo and Daneane Gallardo, did a really good job at introducing some major concepts and tools. And they even put it all up on a website: http://tenthings.malcs.net/

Aside from this workshop, the facilitators held another that let mujeres create their own websites. Although I did not attend I am sure this was an amazing experience for the mujeres that did. You can view these as well as steps to create your own website at http://www.malcs.net/tutorials/website.htm .

Oh, I almost forgot...MALCS also recently created a blog: http://malcs.net/blog/
