some of the ways that community-based practitioners can avoid some of  
the pitfalls of new technology in planning and evaluating their  
projects.

Dr Christine Satchell currently works at the University of  
Melbourne's Interaction Design Group. Christine will discuss emerging  
technology trends such as Web 2.0 with a particular focus on  
strategies non-profit and community organisations can employ to  
interact with youth and young people for social change and community  
action.
