  8. Know the Network Through Mapping

  9. Ask for help if you have questions: (have people who can help raise their hands) • You have a legend on your table. Take PostIt Note and put the color dot on it that represents your sector. • You are going to take turns adding your PostIt Note to the chart. Mapping Activity

  10. Mapping Activity Your Name

  11. Your Nameme Mapping Activity Your Name Your Name

  12. Your Nameme Your Name Mapping Activity Your Name Your Name

  13. Who is missing? Which of the sectors above are their no or few people in your group? Have people add the name of individuals and/or organizations that they know from those sectors who might be interested in #UseTech4Good • Is your network very connected? What difference might it make to your work on this issue if you knew each other better? • Is there a hub (A person many people are connected to)? Why might they be a good person to connect to other tables? Mapping Activity Questions Knit the Network

  14. Pop out observations

  15. If you have a small start-up network (either national or local), do this activity to help you expand and better connect your network. • If you have several local projects, have each one of them map their network. Then have the projects look at each other’s maps and suggest new people to add and notice natural overlaps. How you can use this activity in your local and national networks

  16. Move the network to action: How can you collaborate more?

  17. Need a way to engage many more people in our networks, more diverse organizations and individuals

  18. Our networks are too homogeneous

  26. Closing Triangles Senior Volunteer who wants to learn new tech skills Innovation! Action! Twosie You Young person with tech skills • Both interested in the same thing • One can help the other out

  27. So make sure every meeting has small groups to help people get to know each other and build skills in working together

  28. Encourage people to take leadership

  29. Project Ecosystem Reflection Twosies build relationships Small projects build skills Large projects for impact

  30. Collaboration PopUp Brainstorm • Thinking back over the last two days, ask “What new idea do I have for some #Tech4Good collaborative project?” • Each person shares an idea for a small collaborative action/project. • Then discuss with the rest of your table how this action might work in more depth. Why would that be a good project? Who else might be interested in that idea? How could they get started? • After everyone is done sharing their idea, use a marker to add a star next to two ideas you think should move forward. Chart these ideas! Put your name next to your idea if you are ready to move forward

  31. Pop out observations

  32. How do you support collaborative projects with technology?

  33. You can now collaborate with people around the globe You can also collaborate more easily in your community
