Media Maven: Accidental Techies: What Every Nonprofit Needs to Know to Protect and Manage their IT Assets 03/18/2010

This workshop is for those special members of the nonprofit and small busines team, who we rely on to answer our questions and make our "stuff" and systems work.

From your mobile phone to your desk top computer, office network, email and internet access--we've developed a broad set of skills to make sure it all works when we need it to!  This workshop is for those special members of the nonprofit and small business team, who we rely on to answer our questions and make our "stuff" and systems work.

Media Maven: Tag it! Taming the Firehose with Tags, Filters & Aggregators 01/21/2010

Our experience of the internet is accelerating at a rapid pace. The "stream" of emails, web hits, ad impressions, multi-media narratives and range of devices is a challenge for most of us to manage. In the next decade, it will be essential to filter this stream and channel areas of interest. This can be easily done through "tagging" internet content with key words. Tag It! takes on the "how"  tagging pictures, video, listings, blog posts, group book marks, twitter and facebook updates creates a community brain trust larger than we ever imagined.
