How do we help individuals and organizations make that internal shift in mindset as well as structure for working to be effective?

Note from Beth: I first encountered Nina Simon through her awesome blog back four or five years ago. I'm a huge fan of work and the way she thinks - especially after she road the Scare House ride on the Santa Cruz boardwalk with me and did a brilliant reflection on its design.

It is always challenge to use participatory techniques when your participants are not native English speakers and you don’t speak the language.

Granted, I live in an increasingly narrow world of people who are exploring these topics and want me to work with them, but I still learn a lot from the questions and struggles I hear from colleagues and people who comment on the blog. Are there certain kinds of institutions that are more well-suited for participatory techniques than others?

In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. Nicole Lampe, Resource Media, blogged two summaries based on the ideas and discussion: The Future of Conservation: A Return to Our Roots. We finished with a group photo and fun co-creation reflection. New Technology for New Power Movements.

First, we realized that our museum is different from other museums, but our benefits and membership structure were the same as others. So we wanted a membership segmentation that reflected their individual needs. Kristen will be responding to comments and questions here on the blog. How did this project start?

danah boyd has a post called " On Being Virtual " (be sure to read the comments) As Kevin Gamble on the SLED list notes, what she seems to be saying is that if you look at the rise of social tech amongst young people, it's not about divorcing the physical social structures to live virtually. t think I???ve way to the future?

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. When I decided to write a book about visitor participation in cultural institutions, I knew I'd do it in a way that reflected the values behind the book itself--transparency, inclusion, and meaningful community participation. Check out the other parts here.

I'm creating a powerpiont for the Webinar and an accompanying wikispace, but wanted to put out this blog post for any feedback. Extension programs track blog conversations and respond. Extension programs use wikis, flickr, blogs, tagging, and other tools to share information and content. Use Technorati , a blog search engine.

It often takes clarity of roles and purview and even some structure to do that. In our years of talking to staff, boards, and communities about participatory philanthropy, people often talk about their worst participatory decision-making experiences. New to Participatory Grantmaking?

The resulting (real) exhibits are high-quality experiences that reflect a level of creativity that could not have resulted from our scant in-house exhibit development staff. Our job was to provide a structured environment in which to develop ideas and the expertise to build the best of them. It also focused the experience.

I created this screencast back in September/October of last year, so this release has provided a great opportunity to meta reflect on the whole screencast creation process as well as consider how my views about the use of tagging have evolved. She has also written quite a bit about tagging over at her blog. links on your blog.
