Club using Web 2.0 principles

For the final project, my group and I are starting a microfinance club. Not only are we applying principles of humanity, mormonism, and economics, we are also integrating Web 2.0 principles into this club. For a more detailed description, you can go to our blog or website.

Web 2.0 principles have energized the world. How? Beneath is a list of Web 2.0 ideas that, if applied to clubs, will yield positive results.

Web 2.0
Living, changing, thriving
It is an all-accessible platform
Aids in the transfer of information
Facilitates usage and participation
Friendly interfaces encourage frequent visits
Information is light, brief, and simple
Easy to use
Extends physical friendships to online friendships
Ideas can flow from all angles
It is readily accessible
It is in our hands

As we adapt to a more social interface, encouraging feedback from members, and making it easy to communicate, there will be more participation.

Working with Jeffrey and Leanne has been very fun. We work very well together. Some specific things I have contributed to the group are
- Starting the website
- Drafting a project justification page
- Starting the facebook page
- Writing the club charter with Jeffrey
- Searching for and making note of other university clubs
- Recruiting a faculty advisor
- Researching the requirements for a club
- Writing blogs on the club blogpage.
- Helping with the Prezi presentation

There are still so many things to do, but we are excited to continue to make this thing work
