This morning I got an email from my colleagues at NTEN telling me it was an awesome example of tagging. The next step, of course, is to throw in a little remix and participatory media culture into it!

What's a wiki? Wikis are websites that are extremely easy for anyone (even you!) The most well-known example is Wikipedia , a user-generated encyclopedia which boasts over 6 million entries written and edited by about 30,000 volunteer participants. Its success can distort understanding of what makes a wiki work.

The book is intended to be a practical guide to participatory museum experiences focused on design strategies, case studies, and activities.
