As I was reflecting about Slideshare and thinking about the characteristics of nonprofits featured in our book, The Networked Nonprofit , I realized that Slideshare is a haven for them. As a speaker and trainer , Slideshare, along with wikis, Twitter, and other tools are important part of my trainer’s social media toolbox.

Since we shared my laptop, she kindly gave me permission to upload her slides). You can find the slides and resources at my Arts and Social Media wiki. I spoke about social media and future leadership in the arts - and also did a workshop. I have a long history with the arts community in New York. It gets a good laugh.

I have to prepare for a presentation at the Integrated Media Conference (public broadcasting) at the end of the month called "Lessons Beyond the Field." A Wikitation is a presentation delivered in a wiki. It can be a great tool for conference presentations -- to present material, examples, or take notes for your session.

My chapter lays out a traditional ROI process that Nonprofit technology staff use to make major IT investment purchases such as hardware, video conference system, database system, etc. Pause for reflection time before next reiteration: How to improve results? Document on the fly. Test and tweak. Pick the right hard data points.

Pathfinder gave a presentation to a small group in Cambridge , while his audio (some of the time) was streamed into Second Life along with his Powerpoint Slides. Last night's event brought back memories for me - of what it was like 13 years ago doing demonstrations at nonprofit conferences about online communities for arts organizations.

The result was the Knowledge Garage - a hybrid between a social network, wiki, and intranet built on the platform Groupsite. We also used the time before the event to promote the conference site and encourage exploration of the online tools that they would be using during the event. Know your audience. Use media to your advantage.

Today I’m in San Antonio, Texas, for the American College of Preventive Medicine annual conference. What’s important to note here is that unlike wiki or websites, the direct forms of content creation, with Ushahidi citizens only needed to know the number to which they send reports from their phone. What’s Next?

So he cautioned me that some of the information might not be entirely up to date that he shared on listserv including a pointer to his awesome slide show with audio.

If you're at the conference, hand me an index card the URL of a web resource that you discovered in a session or informal conversation, write a brief description, and hand it to me while at the conference.

With the entire network engaged, the leaders worked together to create a report to document the lessons they were learning from implementing leadership programs for reproductive health, through a new wiki. We had some rich learnings in the reflection of what happened in the group. His slides and my notes and reflections follow.

at 1:04 pm Hi Tracey, I will ammend the post to reflect these comments, because you’re right – for nonprofit organizations, your rates are relatively reasonable. Go to freeconference.com and login to set up a web-scheduled conference with desktop sharing. So, once I decided that, I realized I needed to find the right tools.

The themes science, environmental, nutrition, economic development, children, youth, parenting, and leadership are very much appropriate as this conference agenda from the NACDEP and ACE/NETC shows. Extension programs use wikis, flickr, blogs, tagging, and other tools to share information and content. So, now is the fun part.

We created and ran the web site for the Liberal Arts College in an atmosphere which, upon reflection is a lot like Linden Lab. I remember being shocked when I got slides of artwork in the mail to scan. At the netsquared conference , I spoke with someone from a small nonprofit about Second Life. Second Life isn???t

Upon reflection, “the next latest thing” seems cheeky, but “the future of technology in nonprofits” seemed like a fun exploration into the unknown rather than a run-down of the most contemporary tools everyone else was talking about.

The ’six things every charity must do to stay relevant in the 21st century’ summary near the end of the slides sums up what organisations need to do perfectly!
