Updated the Swaziland Computer Society Website

After several months of trying to encourage the usage of Drupal for the Swaziland Computer Society, I have completely redsigned to using WordPress for the site.

The redesign of the website is going to allow a greater use of the site by more members. Drupal is just too daunting for some users that are relatively shy with complicated technology. By request WordPress wins. This is really exciting because many of our members know how to use WordPress already.

I’m looking forward to more contributions from more of our members. Check out the “Syndication Out” plugin for your own website. I would love to work with you can get your technical blogging syndicated with SCS!

How to Change the world

 

I began this class a few weeks ago.  The material isn’t new to me, however the bold title and enthusiasm of the class facilitators is very engaging.  The next time this class is offered I recommend taking it.

Due to the Coursera Honor Code, I am not allowed to share what I have written for the class.  I am however very interested in talking about the topics covered and welcome the conversation.  I believe this class is helping me to further define “why” I find technology to be so integral in providing solutions to the challenges we face today.  From poverty to climate change, I believe technology will provide a pivotal role in creating the world of tomorrow.
