One of the interesting dynamics of any technology provider of any stripe is the way they choose the technology they will focus on and support. I think this is something that many nonprofits, especially those without in-house technology expertise aren’t that aware of. But I think more is needed.

I’m not leaving nonprofit technology, though, just this particular role – I expect to stay involved, keep connected, keep prodding and poking, and keep learning. If I had it to do over again, I would have started a nonprofit technology organization 10 years ago. I have now realized I need to set it down for good.

I attended the " Tag You Are It " session at NTC by Ami Dar and Katrin Verclas and was exposed to a lot of new technology tools. So, I set up a little action learning project ( cambodia4kids ) to play with these tools to see how they might be useful for technology infused curriculum or nonprofit use. This was before google.
