The Networked NGO in Pakistan

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

In addition to the tactical and skills instruction we did with the social media staff on Day 3 and Day 4, we also covered how to manage time and work efficiently – and how to best provide support for the strategies. I selected the latter because all participants are on Facebook and can access it on their mobile phones.

Gender, Race and Open Source

Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

The presentation is available on my wiki (it’s at the bottom.) An older woman of color noted that a lot of the problems that open source developers were solving weren’t problems that communities faced.

Given our multiple team members, we use a wiki as an easy-to-use online collaborative space, where we keep a calendar of upcoming blog topics and draft blog posts. The wiki helps us avoid version control issues and allows us to keep a history of changes by author. Clearly articulate the issue -- and your plan to solve it.

Reflections: Social Media and NGO/CSR Workshop in India

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

You can find my materials and slides on the workshop wiki - CSR and NGO workshops, but always like to do a reflective wrap up post. Real-time improvisation. Geoff talks about three different approaches used in America (Mission, Problem, and Family). And, of course, created a wiki as a resource. NGOS in India.

Museum 2.0

For example, “Nazi science” came up several times as a “can’t”—but the Holocaust Museum’s Deadly Medicine exhibition was a successful project that didn’t bring the walls down. Science is political, and science museums have a hard time grappling with that fact. And so my question is, why are we keeping them away?
