Create a birthday card by remixing a photo of Beth or remix one of your own or anyone else's photo of me in flickr and send it into the Beth5.0

Next week I'm doing a Webinar for Extension Professionals , a remix of 10 Steps to Association 2.0 which was a remix of Marnie Webb 's Ten Ways Nonprofits Can Change the World. My initial remix thought (wrong) was to look for examples that were related to agriculture, but the extension is so much more. I'm nervous. It's messy.

While doing research, I found myself digging back into old arguments on museum listservs about photo policies and I want to add my two (very opinionated) cents on this. If people can take their own photos, they won't buy them in the gift shop. Aesthetics of Experience: Photo-taking is distracting for other visitors.

To celebrate, I concocted an action learning experience in user generated content, the Beth 5.0 Flickr Photo Birthday Remix Contest.
