DESCRIPTION
It doesn't matter if your organization is large or small, or if you have a complex network or have no server at all. Knowing about online collaboration tools can help organizations and individuals be more effective, for less money, especially when your staff is not located in one central location. In this free webinar, Kami Griffiths will interview Jon Warnow from 350.org to learn about the tools that they use to accomplish their mission specifically Google Apps, Skype and Salsa Labs-Democracy in Action. We'll also hear from Jay Boren, from Google, who will provide more information about Google Apps and the ways that nonprofits and libraries can take advantage of this suite of free tools. This webinar is ideal for decision makers, board members, accidental techies or anyone interested in learning how one nonprofit is successfully using online tools for collaborating. You can discuss this webinar on Twitter with the hashtag #techsoup or join us for a live-stream of the event in Second Life.
