For my final project I am developing a network for nonprofit organization to share, contribute and acquire knowledge to better run, assess and implement tasks for their organization's needs. I am using Ning as the platform delivery system and though there are more and better choices such as BoonEx, Joomla, DocuShare, Ning seems to be the one I am most familiar with even with its limitations... great platform nonetheless.
I see an great use of Web 2.0 Technologies which we have covered over the semester to aid the delivery of instructional material to the learners and instructors.
Designing such framework has been characterized by our reading: A Whole New Mind which I seem to stress in my project more and more. I am thinking creatively. As for the design, I am working on it, and with time I hope to implement concepts of The Design of Everyday Things to create learning project for others to follow.
Project management seems to play a key role thus far.

Final Project Idea
This is still in the idea development phase, but my idea is to create a site using Wordpress or a LMS or LCMS tool. There are a lot of tools out there and at the moment, I am in the researching stage and have been considering many Web 2.0 tools. Ning, Wetpaint and others are my options, but I will need to map out my project before I decide.
The Project
I volunteer at a couple of not-for-profit organizations in Marin. I teach English to adults at night once a week. I also teach computer classes to kids in low-income areas in Marin (yes, there are some areas believe it or not).
Some semesters; however, there are not enough volunteers and the staff is not very tech savvy either which limits the organization to the verge of closing doors or shut down projects. There is such a lack of communication between non-profits organization.
Can other organization in the Bay Area help? in New York? My idea is to create a site where all not-for-profit organizations can create, find, collaborate on ideas, projects that can help them find fast, cost effective ways to develop and attract more volunteers- as well as grant opportunitties. A non-profit network.
