DigiActive News: DigiActive Top 50 Web 2.0 Challenge

Written by Mary on April 9, 2008 – 3:03 pm -

Part of what we do at DigiActive is figure out how to use otherwise innocent commercial online platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter for activism. However, there are tons of interactive online tools out there and we can’t review all of them. We need your help!

Fortunately, we are not alone in this effort to co-opt the Internet for the purposes of social justice. If you are one of those people that likes to figure out the activist use of new online tools, we invite you to watch the following slide presentation, which features the top 50 Web 2.0 tools to support teaching an learning (it was creating by technology instructors in a school district).

Our challenge to you: figure out how digital activists can use these tools. Watch the slide show and then investigate the tools that interest you most and think about how an activist might be able to use that tools in a campaign for social change. E-mail your suggestions to Mary @ DigiActive.org and we will post the most creative activist tool use suggestions on DigiActive.

Credit where credit is due: many thanks to instructional technology coordinators Fred Delventhal and Heather Hurley for created this slide show and doing to initial research which narrowed the initial field of hundreds of interactive Web 2.0 tools to those most useful to people interested in social change.

Also, thanks to Beth Kanter, for posting the presentation on her site, Beth’s Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media.
