KEYSPOT: 100k hours of computer training to 10k Philadelphians in last year, planning for end of federal funding [VIDEO]
More than 70 computer training centers in Philadelphia have been
given new life and helped familiarize more than 10,000 low-income
residents with digital technology in the past year.
Next up for the KEYSPOT initiative, backed by the Freedom Rings Partnership, is to figure out what to do when the $18 million initial federal stimulus funding runs out a year from now. It’s something the partnership is putting as among its top priorities says Joanne Ferroni, among the Drexel University-based coordinators.
“We are working with sites and managing partners to come up with a collective vision for digital literacy and then support individual partners to sustain their own efforts,” said Ferroni. “We are collectively working toward a broad-based funding strategy that will support Philadelphia becoming the most digitally literate and digitally engaged city in the country.”

N3rd Street: a cluster of tech businesses claim a corridor from Old City to Northern Liberties
A stretch of North Third Street in Philadelphia is on its way to acquiring a new moniker: N3rd Street.
In recent years, the corridor from roughly Market Street in Old City through Northern Liberties has been gradually filling with nerd-centric office buildings and shared workspaces. If Philadelphia is to strengthen its case for being a hub of innovation, the city could use its fair share of blocks known for technological residents.
While certain neighborhoods here have already grown a reputation for intellectual capital — think, University City — narrow stretches that identify how Philadelphia is silly with digital smarts are successes themselves.
