They were ahead of the museum curve, using language like "participatory learning environment" (Brooklyn Children's Museum, 1977) that is still thick in the mouths of contemporary museum directors in other fields. Bob argues that giving kids laptops enables more participatory, engaged learning.

On a recent trip to DC, an old friend showed me around a new exhibit at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), From Memory to Action: Meeting the Challenge of Genocide. This makes for a nice combination of printed and handwritten pledges, pledges local to DC and written in foreign languages as well.

In DC, I worked half-time for NASA as an electrical engineer and half-time for the Capital Children's Museum (now defunct) as a science educator. Now, as a freelancer, my work combines long-term, creatively challenging participatory exhibit projects with lots of little workshops and brainstorming sessions with institutions around the world.

Flash back six months and I'm with friends at a hip bar in Washington DC, losing miserably at a weekly trivia night. But now, many bars are also offering participatory experiences around content. Flash back two weeks ago and I'm talking to a friend who attends monthly spelling bees at a bar in San Francisco.

There will be several live events in DC throughout the course of the game, culminating with a five-hour extravaganza on October 25 in which drop-in players of all kinds (families, non-gamers, etc.) The initial rules of engagement are spelled out. And the "stuff" of the game is real stuff, artifacts created by players and sent to the museum.

Last week, I stayed at a hotel with lousy hospitality in DC. Tags: Book Discussion: Groundswell marketing participatory museum. But we’ve got to get over it, because listening gives us an opportunity to improve what we do and be more successful. And there’s a downside to closing our ears. The manager treated me terribly.

I've written before about techniques for talking to strangers, looking at how buttons , buses , and dogs and can all be tools for participatory design. I used that instruction recently to kick off a meeting at a museum planning a participatory education space. These activities are not always grounds for participatory encounters.

I am the director of a non-profit that promotes open museum practices, and we are in midst of launching a free service for arts organizations: a web site that permits any museum to create a participatory exhibit space and social network centered on the museum's collections. It takes content, strategy and elbow grease.

To paraphrase Ginnie Cooper, innovative chief librarian of DC: “I have to serve two audiences: my current audience and my future audience. The most upsetting moment of the meeting for me was when some participants expressed a willful disregard and derision for participatory scholarship on sites like Wikipedia.
