But last year, over Thanksgiving, I sat next to a man who was working on his laptop (not an activity that invites conversation), creating a presentation on elementary education and technology.

We were introduced to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through our common interest in libraries. They've provided access to computers, to the Internet, to productivity software, to children's software, to Wi-Fi hotspots that patrons can use at home, to laptops they can check out, and to so much more.

I used that instruction recently to kick off a meeting at a museum planning a participatory education space. Interestingly, at the City Museum in St. No matter the physical object, there are some people who will approach you to talk about it, even objects that connote non-social focus, like books or laptops.
