The successful PDA project that has been running since October 2007 has now been extended to the end of September 2008 XLWales together with Communities @One have been working with groups in the communities first areas of Swansea over the past year. Using PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) the groups have been taught digital technology skills such as photography, bluetooth and word processing.
Using these skills, they have explored their local community discovering all the ICT (information & communication technology) facillities that are on offer
The information collected has been collated to form the website www.swanseaictmap.co.uk, offering a useful tool for the residents of Swansea to find out information on computer courses, internet access and lots more.
The extension will now allow XLWales to add more information onto the website and train more people to use PDA's
