"building the capacity of public media and technology organizations"
I have been busy researching the contents of my nonprofit's digital literacy toolkit, which includes the following: 1) model integrated use of collaborative/workflow tools (filesharing, scheduling, project and task planning, synchronous communication and whiteboard), 2) model use of media tools (podcasting, videoblogging, digital storytelling, YouTube and Flickr), 3) survey tools, and 4) social ne

Hey Rian,
if you can send me the original (editable) copy of the above PDF, I'll happily fill out what I know on it and send it back. This is a great chart.

Hi Rian---I wrote about some survey tools in an earlier post here:
That looks like a pretty useful list. I have some other stuff sitting around I'll email you too... once I find it :-)
So, long time no post. I was going to talk about one of the things I've been working on, which is IPv6. This'll take a little bit of background explanation, so if you're already tech savvy and know all about IPv6 just bear with me.

Josh,
this is a GREAT article! Breaks IPv6 down without a lot of jargon while still tying the importance of our CTC work. A+
Would you mind if I submit this to the NAMAC website (where I work with media arts centers)?
It's really well written.

Sure Morgan, I'm glad you liked it. If I get more positive feedback I might stick it on the ctcvista.org wiki, too.

Yes, this is a great explanation and I think the link to this page should be published as widely as possible in the nonprofit world, as well as in any fora frequented by people interested in technology and in the social implications of the directions of technology's evolution.
Last week I attended an NTEN Member Appreciation Webinar entitled: 10 Tactics for Growing Your Community Online. As NAMAC's Online Community Manager, I found this webinar very helpful, engaging and well worth my time.
Hi Everyone,
So I'm going to continue being good and write a second update report.
When do you finally settle in to an organization? This question is more rhetorical than anything else. I think I'll still be settling until my last day there. Either that or it will remain unsettled. Who knows?

Hey Karl,
Sounds like you're negotiating the telecommuniting aspect of your job pretty well. Any chance you'd like to contribute an article-style description of some pointers and how-to's of successful telecommuting/multitasking for a field survival guide for CTC VISTA's? Enjoy the library and good luck getting a connection at your place!
Morgan was a CTC VISTA Leader in 2007 (before we changed our name to the Digital Arts Service Corps) and while this round-up is a little dated it still contains some valuable resources.
Greeting VISTAs,
WARNING! Federal grant applications are, by far, the most difficult and the most competitive type of proposal to write, even for veteran grant writers. They require more than 100 hours of work reading/understanding application requirements, researching and writing.
Thanks to a great fellow VISTA Leader I met at VISTA Leader training last week in DC, Carly from Tufts University Campus Compact, I've got a little tongue and cheek version of how to live on the VISTA budget that former VISTA Leaders, Ira Hammerslough and Marc Velasquez, created.
