I'm teaching a 'social entrepreneurs and technology' class this summer to a group of college students going through a type of nonprofit boot camp. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on the importance of technology in the social entrepreneur nonprofit world and the most essential technologies for them.
Your question is a very good one. I think that technology is quite important to discuss as it is often how social entrepreneurs recruit, fundraise, and communicate. I have two starting points to suggest.
Craigslist.org has addressed this topic in their non-profit bootcamps over the past few years. The presentations and podcasts from many of these sessions are online. Perhaps you could use a podcast or presentation as a starting point for a discussion with your bootcamp students. Techsoup also has a collection of articles about non-profits and the Internet including articles on Facebook and social networking.
