BP#7 Essay

The application of WIKI for our nonprofit organization and our Leapfrogs to Laptops Project should help our team pull together and become more organized and focused on the challenges presented by this project. I need to further research the benefits of a grass roots nonprofit WIKI. Social Networking is the key skill in doing grass roots nonprofit work. One aspect on networking is establishing strong private (for profit) partners. One WIKI objective might be to include a private partner in the development of our WIKI. At this point, I am at the point of mindful overload. The brain needs time to incubate new idea, new concepts, new technology - Well, perhaps only my old brain needs this incubation period in order to hatch a new idea! I need to envision what connects and what does not. What needs to left on the cutting room floor. There needs to be fluency as to how the technology works in delivering the information to the learner. Will the WIKI help to turn that information into knowledge? Will it play a critical role in taking the knowledge and transforming it into to know-How (Innovation)?
