Are you the person everyone at your small nonprofit looks to when the printer won’t work or the Wi-Fi is down? Are you the one with admin privileges for all your software? Do you have to carry out basic IT tasks such as run backups and install anti-virus software? Is IT only a small fraction of your job (but always threatening to take over)? Let Tech Impact help you through the big IT issues many small nonprofits face. Our three-week course will provide you with the knowledge you need to support your nonprofit and its many IT needs.
Through participation in this course, you will:

Familiarize yourself with the basics of your organization’s infrastructure.
Learn the fundamentals of networking and backing up shared files.
Discover best practices that will make you a more effective software administrator.
Explore new software options.
Review security risks and safety principles.
Discuss technology planning and how to help everyone at your organization get what they need from their technology resources.
Learn how to keep your IT responsibilities from taking over your job.

December 3: Hardware Infrastructure Basics
Computers, printers, phones, routers—there are a lot of gadgets that can turn glitchy. This session will cover the basics you need to know about the various pieces of hardware in a typical office and review common troubleshooting techniques to keep them up and running. We’ll also look at what you need to know to network computers, keep them connected, and reliably back up files.
December 10: Managing Software and Security
How do you decide what software to choose when there are hundreds of options, each with their own unique features? And once you’ve chosen a software package, how do you manage it so that your organization gets what it needs and is protected from security threats? We’ll answer these questions and more by reviewing frameworks to choose and administer your organization’s software.
December 17: The Human Side of Technology
IT isn’t just IT. A big part of the job is working directly with people—both to fix small problems and undertake long-term planning. We’ll help you develop strategies for leading large-scale technology projects and pass on tips from our own in-house IT expert on the best ways to work one-on-one with your colleagues.

How do you use your conference to move the needle on some important issue facing your organization or sector?
Join Nancy Bacon as she walks through the four elements of conference design:

• Name several ways that you can get attendees ready to learn before the
conference begins
• Support your speakers to deliver excellent workshops
• Describe how to build in opportunities for networking and reflection

Nancy will share practical advice based on implementing and advising on conferences big and small. She will show you how to use tools honed through past conferences. She will leave you ready to deliver a valuable conference for the people you serve.

Three days, September 22, 23, 24, 1:00-2:30pm ET
REGISTER HERE
Technology can help you deliver information and services to more people for less money, but only if you have the right tools and understand how to use them. This three-day course will provide an overall framework for thinking about when technology can help—and when it can’t. Social media, websites, video conferencing, texting, document assembly—we’ll explore a wide range of examples of nonprofits using online and mobile technology to reach more people with programs and services.
Throughout this course, you will:

Review the landscape of technologies that might be helpful in delivering information.
Think through what resources work best online and which best fit your organization and its mission.
Explore technologies you can use to provide help remotely and best practices to carry them out successfully.
Learn how to successfully build and maintain a community of clients online.
Consider metrics that can help you track the success of your online services and resources.

September 22: Providing Self-Serve Information
We’ll start with an introduction to the course and an overview of opportunities to use online technology for program delivery. Then we’ll dive into self-serve information—how to provide information where and when a constituent needs it. We’ll cover strategic ways to use your website, eLearning, videos, simple expert systems, and document assembly tools to give people access to tools and resources that will improve their lives or further their cause.
September 23: Helping Clients Remotely
There are more technologies than ever that can facilitate live help for people who struggle to get the information and services they need. We’ll help you think through live video conferencing, chat, text messaging, kiosks, and the challenges of providing remote services.
September 24: Building Communities
In what ways can you provide forums for service recipients to talk to and help each other? Social media provides opportunities to both convene groups and to provide services, but you’ll need to tend to these communities to ensure they flourish. After learning about building communities, we’ll wrap up the course with an overview of what metrics you might want to track, and a quick look at tools that help you determine the success of your tactics.
