In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. It is called “Rose, Bud, Thorn.” Participants reviewed their notes from the expert sessions, and wrote down challenges on blue sticky notes, strengths on pink sticky notes, and opportunities on green sticky notes.

This month's fashion statement is gray and green to match the colors of Creative Commons logo. I have a strong interest in the future of my work and participatory culture. Last month, I turned my blog pink in support of Breast Cancer and in September, I put on a red t-shirt. to support the monks in Burma. But that's not all.

Many fabulous participatory projects--like the Johnny Cash Project or the Art Gallery of Ontario's " In Your Face "--don't require language. A comment board, for example, could offer blue cards for English speakers, green for Spanish, and so on. So what are the options? designate the difference between languages using design.

In other words, a new kind of talkback board or participatory educational program. Green for antagonism. The most important aspect of designing a successful participatory platform is to intentionally, deliberately, and clearly DESIGN the platform.

Not many black boring bags at all - colors - pink and green seem to be popular. The session and moderator guidelines are designed to make the next a very interactive and participatory conference.

The I LIKE TO WATCH tag (and feed) identifies provocative, proactive, or practical videos that feature sustainability leaders talking about solutions or what she describes as "Viral video and the bright green future."

Every few feet on the bench, there is a small box about the size of a lightswitch with two buttons on it, one red and one green. Visitors see a ticking countdown and are told to vote by pressing either the green or red button on one of the small boxes. Green indicates yes, red, no. And I don’t think I was alone in that feeling.

Here's just three people/content connections on this topic that I found from Technorati search: A search on "tags" lead me directly to a YouTube channel from the Youth Health Alliance and a series of youth-created videos on nutrition, including the one above that explains why it is better to drink green tea versus software drinks.

Remember, the people who chose to produce content onsite--to track themselves, to play games, to make pledges, to mess with their photos--were drawn specifically to active participatory experiences. I worked with the Boston Children's Museum on a project called Our Green Trail (check it out!)

It’s common to have low expectations with regard to the number of people who will create content in participatory platforms (online media-sharing sites, contributory projects, story-sharing exhibits). And yet ironically, we spend most of our time with participatory projects accentuating how open they are. Let me explain.

I favor a participatory approach with full room discussion. Ethan Zuckerman, fellow board members, shares his impressions here. iHub one of the best ever co-working technology spaces I've been in.
