ICT Resources

Welcome to Connecting Up Australia’s ICT Resources for Nonprofits! This service will be expanding to include many useful sources of information about Information, Communication and Technology that we can use to both improve our own internal operations as well as provide more innovative programs to our target groups. There are so many new and exciting technologies which will enable new ways of reaching our targets and hopefully improving access. The social web or Web 2.0 also provides a new medium for not only service delivery but also networking for our sector. Connecting Up will launch its new NFP Web 2.0 soon to allow us to create networking groups and share information via video conferencing, live chats, blogs and shared wikipedia style documents.

If you were a CommunIT user this is your new reference area for useful RSS feeds and How to Guides.

If you attended the Connecting Up Conference you will find pod and videocasts here from the conference and shared photos of the events.

Also find the DonorTec program here for donated technology – the very latest products, from our wonderful donor companies including Microsoft, Cisco, Bytes of Learning, Flickr, Sentry Networks and more to come! Just click the banner link.

Please watch this space and subscribe to our newsletter to receive all the latest information on developments of this service!

Connecting Up Australia aims to connect you to the resources, tools and networks that will assist you and your organisation do what you do best!

This is why NTEN is proud to present the results of our first CMS Satisfaction Survey.

Should Your Organization Use Social Networking Sites?

You've likely heard of Web sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn. These types of tools, collectively known as social networking sites, allow individuals (and sometimes organizations) to create online profiles, discover others who share their interests, and create an online network of contacts and supporters.
