At the NCTech4Good gathering onNovember 20, Alicia Light did a great job highlighting a variety of resources for Developing E-Learning Courses on a Limited Budget and providing insights about which ones are most user-friendly and affordable. Her presentation slides with all the details are now available online at https://bit.ly/2YBucFE.

Many thanks to Alicia and the Center for Family and Community Engagement for this excellent presentation and sharing these valuable materials.

The NCTech4Good Meetup January 16 was small but fun with lively conversation on Nonprofit Technology Trends. Stephen Delany led the meeting and Stephen Kennedy posted his very informative notes at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UuQXc5Wv8bdPH-l5Zl2jUW_Z73X6hB9JyClXCNiP_kc/

Great NCTech4Good holiday social last night at Hope Valley Bar and Grill! Comments on the Meetup event include "Super conversations, people introducing one another to help facilitate connections."

The 8th Annual NCTech4Good Conference held June 6-7 at The Solution Center in Durham was the best yet!

Check out the posts made throughout the conference with photos and video assembled at Storify.

Presentation slides and shared attendee notes have been added to the session descriptions linked from the schedule.

What folks liked:

• The camaraderie and networking with like-minded individuals.
• The stream of useful information and links to resources!
• Easy flow of the schedule on Tuesday–good combination of content and networking.
• The presenters had time to give in depth answers to questions from the audience, and that was “gold” for me.  How often do you get the opportunity to ask a professional in a certain field for specific advice for free?  And, the presenters and attendees generously shared their expertise.  I felt genuinely and warmly supported.
• The venue and location are top notch! And I appreciate there is a conference devoted to NP tech.

We have a little space left at the 8th AnnualNCTech4Good Conference at The Solution Center in Durham, NC, June 6-7. We've got a great schedule. You're welcome to join us. The last day to register is Tuesday, May 30.NCTech4Good Conference June 6-7 in Durham, NC

We didn't come up with a speaker for the meeting so we had discussion. Personally, I like discussions better than speakers for a lot topics. The meetings are fun and lively.
