Nonprofit Tech for Good

JANUARY 14, 2013

In the next few weeks I’ll be making recommendations of which tools and trends in technology nonprofits should prioritize in 2013, but for this year’s post on New Year’s resolutions I wanted to get back to basics. My mind wanders after a couple of paragraphs even when reading New York Times Bestsellers.

I've been involved with teaching and learning technology for nonprofits since 1993 when I worked for the New York Foundation for the Arts' online network for artists, Arts Wire. I also try to identify a framework that will help me design the content. My job was the network weaver. Audience Research.

As a trainer, one of the most exciting parts of working on a book is developing instructional materials based on the content and leading workshops to help put the ideas into practice. Over the past six months, I have been developing and piloting workshops on self-care and we-care as part of the leadership development training I do.

We often use them to add in extra content we couldn’t get into the label or assess people’s learning. With this in mind, when we produce participatory experiences, while our impetus is to serve our power users with extra content or “check for understanding” interactives, there are so many other ways to use interactives.

Eric talked about how the New York Hall of Science is trying to fund risk-taking, not just talk about it or under-resource it. While the content of any one meeting wasn't mind-blowing, the fact that we're now sufficiently technology-mediated that these kinds of informal, spontaneous events can happen is really exciting.

This is the model that governs most businesses and artistic endeavors. What drives people through your door, gets them excited, and connects them passionately with your content?

If we're talking about an an artist working in the context of an art museum, it's likely that the genius' work will be presented with minimal interpretation.

Since these are not artists in the standard canon, there are no hard and fast rules about how their art has to be displayed and interpreted.
