Being a trusted source of information can be a barrier that keeps us from sharing content with visitors that might be more contemporary, more ambiguous, more contentious--information that may not be trusted. It makes us uncomfortable with opening museum content up to comment, tagging, and alterations by visitors. Be personal.

Regulars teach newcomers how to behave and reward other regulars with close friendship. Third places are more participatory and offer fewer basic amenities than most cultural institutions provide. Less prettification of content. The cultural service model is antithetical to the third place. Less presentation of a point of view.

April 5 is the first day of a class I’m teaching called Social Technology, in which we are focusing on designing an exhibition that features social objects , that is, exhibits or artifacts that inspire interpersonal dialogue. For example, my dog , while a highly evolved social matchmaking device, is not deliberately designed for that task.

My social media plans for 2010 involve 1) developing my own knowledge and skill set, 2) helping to develop a strategy for my organization- Metro United Way in Louisville, KY - and 3) teaching within my organization to develop the knowledge and skills of others. It takes content, strategy and elbow grease.

I personally want to move away from the metaphor of making movies of the computer screen to more shoulder-to-shoulder instructional media and perhaps something that is more participatory or for lack of a better word, social. Again, shows me the power of open content and open source thinking. Maybe it is more like moment capture.

Now, NYSCI is experimenting in a new medium, with a very tough and adult content focus. I sat down with Eric Siegel, NYSCI’s Director and Chief Content Officer, to learn more about False Conviction. While the content is really compelling, the audience and format are obviously challenging. That’s not easy.

I don’t teach that way. I favor a participatory approach with full room discussion. What Surprised Me: On top of a concern that some of the ideas/content might not be relevant, I was worried that a lot of my verbal and visual humor might not translate either.

As John Holt wrote, "Learning is not the product of teaching. There are many parallels between free-choice learning and participatory design. As museum professionals, or educators, or librarians, or humans who want to support learning, it's not our job to teach people everything.

The NAS publishes one such report every business day, and apparently these reports are seen as a gold standard of objective, well-researched content on a range of industries and issues. Libraries are more customer-focused, museums, more content-focused. Museums provide the information that we deem useful or interesting.
