 <title>Give Your Two Cents in Net2Ask</title>
 <link>http://www.netsquared.org/blog/britt-bravo/give-your-two-cents-in-net2ask</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Over in &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;/catlist/list/2&quot;&gt;Net2Ask&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;quot;smokinggoat&amp;quot; asks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where are the&amp;nbsp; tech-side volunteers? . . .Where do I go to find hands-on help for the more complex Web 2.0 technologies?&amp;nbsp; And more specifically, where are the tech &lt;em&gt;volunteers&lt;/em&gt;?    &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; John Brandt Executive Director of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maineascd.org/&quot;&gt;Maine ASCD&lt;/a&gt; offers this advice,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The obvious answer to your question (Where do you find...?)&amp;nbsp;is - you need to find a &amp;quot;digital native.&amp;quot; As you may know, &amp;quot;digital natives&amp;quot; (according to Marc Prensky) are those who were born into this new digital world. Simply put, NPOs need to enlist the services of young people in their mission. And that is a whole other conversation...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netsquared.org/blog/britt-bravo/give-your-two-cents-in-net2ask&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
