Courageous speakers from dozens of countries described bold, participatory projects. El Museo Reimaginado is a collaborative effort of museum professionals in North and South America to explore museums' potential as community catalysts. Even the conference itself was a model of social bridging. They were more committed.

Institutions like the Boston Children's Museum (which she helped lead in the 1970s) drew heavily from and worked in partnership with the "open classroom" movement to develop informal educational models that are interactive, open-ended, and individualized. Why haven't children's museums pushed past the 1970s model?

I’m the lead for Zoetica for this project where my role is to deliver training, advise on the curriculum and coaching methods, model transparency, and serve as a sort of meta network weaver. Everyone was asked to share five words or “hash tags&# on sticky notes and place them on the wall.

We went through a dramatic financial turnaround and redefined our relationship with our community through a series of experimental participatory projects and new programmatic approaches. From day 1, I believed that we needed to focus in our first year on creating new participatory events to engage the community.

I'm incredibly proud of all the staff, trustees, volunteers, collaborators, visitors, and members who have made this happen. We started the summer with no money and a strategic vision to be a thriving, central gathering place. We just started to try to live up to that vision, partnership by partnership, activity by activity.

This past weekend, in conjunction with our exhibition about Ze Frank's current participatory project, A Show , we hosted " Ze Frank Weekend "--a quickie summer camp of workshops, activities, presentations, and lots of hugging. Participants who felt more confident modeled generous behavior and engaged others.

The model for disseminating web content is evolving. Others went on to crown the achievements from the participatory public sphere that have arisen as a result of increased access to content. For too long, tight controls were placed on information released to the public. However, these traditional models are breaking apart.

I got into museum work because learning happens in many places and many ways. Who their role models are. When we talk about embracing participatory experiences at non-professional levels, arts professionals often get worried that the best work will get drowned out in mediocrity. School is just a small part of it.

Most of the projects with these programs were carried out collaboratively; so I had a chance to see how different kinds of organizations, from grassroots to national, operate. It focused on collaborative e-learning. A premise for this work is that we need to be better at working collaboratively???whether

Her post places an emphasis in looking at SL as simply virtuality (read this too) not social networking - as did Clay Shirky. Being another layer over existing technologies, those who are comfortable with the current models can stay behind while the rest of us move up to the next level.

People who work with non-professionals on participatory projects often talk about finding "neutral" sites for meetings or meeting on their (the non-professionals') territory. However, the contest also prevented us from legitimately fostering collaboration. Second Life was a better community space for The Tech Virtual than the Web.

As I process the many sessions I attended and the new connections that were made, three key trends stick out: interconnectedness, evidence driven hope, and new funding models.

It is open, participatory, and peer-driven.

While there are some criticisms of its consensus-based model for information-vetting, there's no doubt of its success as a collaborative knowledge-creation project. After all, if Wikipedia could succeed as a collaborative documentation of well, everything, isn't your specific wiki bound to thrive as well? So when do wikis work?

This is the fifth installment of a book discussion about Ray Oldenburg’s book The Great Good Place. Both of us latched onto the popular notion of "third places," applying it to LAMs, and were surprised to learn how narrowly Ray Oldenburg defined the term in his original work.
