<p>During the past month I've learned of another graphic presentation tool called Insight Maker. One demonstration is <a href="http://insightmaker.com/builder/index.php?nid=2001" target="_blank">here</a>. Another is <a href="http://insightmaker.com/builder/index.php?nid=1366" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>Browse the sections of <a href="http://tutormentorconnection.ning.com/group/technologyinternswithtutormentorconnection" target="_self">this group</a> to read about Social Network Analysis and work that has been done in the past.</p>

<p>Follow links in <a href="http://tutormentorconnection.ning.com/forum/topics/articles-to-read-about-social?groupUrl=technologyinternswithtutormentorconnection&groupId=783429%3AGroup%3A10601&id=783429%3ATopic%3A10717&page=2#comments" target="_self">this section</a> to see examples of how SNA can be used.</p>

<p>A FREE network analysis tool is Gephi. This <a href="http://gephi.org/users/" target="_blank">site provides a tutorial</a>on how to use it. I want to encourage the two interns who will work with me in May-June to see if they can learn to use Gephi. They can create a map showing the interns who have joined me since 2006. They can create a map of the Ning site. Maybe they can create a web page to capture info on new people who connect with the Tutor/Mentor Connection and Tutor/Mentor Institute.</p>

<p>While the interns we expect in May/June 2012 will come from IIT in Chicago, this project is open to high school and college students from any place in the world. If you'd like to participate just introduce yourself into the group. While the projects we've worked on in the past have focused on Chicago, teams from other cities could focus the ideas on the needs for more youth supports in their own communities.</p>
