Unformatted Document Text:  Jamie Cistoldi Lee ASA Submission house and family, but we women can also be professionals, business-women, occupying important positions in society and the Foundation showed us that,” remarks one of the participants. We should base our conclusions on the experiences of the participants involved on a per-program basis, since in many ways this program in particular made a meaningful change in their life. Long-term access to and use of computers may not be a necessary goal for these programs. Rather, these programs can be successful on an individual level if they improve rights and empower participants. These programs can also be successful from a development perspective if they foster the growth of and expansion of information and communication technologies in key industries in the developing world. So, while these participants gain control, access, and rights to ICT within the classroom, there remains much progress to assure that at the same time the students do not loose control in their social, economic, and political lives as computer technologies infiltrate their communities and homes. 13
