[#musetech thread] It's back to school for me at @GUmuseumstudies, teaching "Museums and New Media" again! On my syllabus / presentation slides for first week: @Gavin_Mallory's "Museums are Experience Factories" blog.cogapp.com/museums-are-ex…
Next up: Great discussion of skills and mindsets required for the next generation of museum professionals in "Musetech: An Ideal Syllabus" by @geealbers @Kcody goo.gl/oK13ba My favorite? ✅ Critical Thinking in the Face of Relentless Change
I also included @ellengamerman's "A look at the museum of the future" because it features some amazing projects but also seriously problematic quotes about digital distraction and overpromises re: tech=draws young/diverse crowds. wsj.com/articles/a-loo…
My favorite project featured in that @WSJ #musetech article is the @ihmec's collaboration with @USCShoahFdn to preserve and present (in interactive holographic video form) the stories of Holocaust survivors.
I'm also excited to show MCN Ignite talk "From punch cards to hashtags: 5 decades of #musetech jobs in 5 minutes." @The_Museum_Guy & @south_waite give a pithy and fun overview of the changes technology has brought to museums and museum workers.
That's it for week 1! Don't want to overwhelm folks. If you found this thread useful, let me know and I'll share highlights from week 2! #musetech

[#musetech syllabus thread: week 8!] Tonight's topic was CROWDSOURCING & PARTICIPATION. We kicked off the readings with @ninaksimon's "Why Participate?" participatorymuseum.org/preface/
"When people can actively participate with cultural institutions, those places become central to cultural and community life." - @ninaksimon See also Chapter 1: Principles of Participation participatorymuseum.org/chapter1/
We also read a guest post on @ninaksimon's blog about the "Oh Snap!" project which involved online and offline participation, including a physical exhibit of visitor-contributed photos surrounding works from the @CarnegieArtMuse collection museumtwo.blogspot.com/2013/03/guest-…

[#musetech syllabus thread: week 6!] This week's readings focused on in-gallery tech. We kicked off the topic with @rosemarybeetle's blog post on what the @V_and_A learned from observing visitors vam.ac.uk/blog/digital-m…
We also investigated @CultureGrrl's critique of @cooperhewitt's Pen, @ClevelandArt's Gallery One, and @MuseumModernArt's Audio+ wsj.com/articles/the-b…
We also delved into the responses @CultureGrrl received from #musetech pros like @SarahatReynolda @donundeen @sebchan @caw_ who largely called for a more nuanced (and inclusive) critique of the role tech can play in museum visits artsjournal.com/culturegrrl/20…

CURSE OF KNOWLEDGE:
This is a powerful cognitive bias, and the one that's probably most responsible for you staying stuck in your dead-end way of doing things instead of breaking out.

What is it?
The mind's inability to remember what it was like to not know something.
At first glance you may think this is a relatively unimportant thing. Completely harmless.

But it's robbing you of your freedom. Here's how.

To understand, we're going to use an example from my life: Magic Tricks.

I'm a professional mentalist; I've performed in Vegas.
I know how the mind works, and I understand why the simple methods of magic are so powerful; they leverage exactly these kinds of mental hiccups. So, here's the example.

I do a trick, and you want to know how it works. You'll do ANYTHING. Pay me $100, even. Great! Pay up!

Imperfectly Perfect Love #Thread
"I haven't written for a while, I'm not even sure I can piece words together to form beautiful sentences that would appeal to you the reader, but I do have a story, a really beautiful story...." I paused. Would that make for a good intro? Was something missing? As I pondered, my
thoughts were interrupted by a light knock on the bedroom door, and the sight of a bearded light-skinned face peeping
"Hey Teddy Bear, you up yet?" Chuks said, as he came in.
"No, you light-skinned bearded Ogre, I'm still fast asleep" I replied.

This is a #thread regarding Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv, the person who is currently claiming to be a trans woman and suing beauticians who have been refusing to wax their male genitals. I have decided to make this thread with neutral pronouns regarding Jonathan/Jessica because from
what I could gather they have chosen to be referred to as both Jonathan and Jessica and no amount of disgust and hatred I feel for someone could get me to misgender them on purpose. It took me ages to decide to actually make this thread happen because my story with this person is
very much still an open wound and traumatised me in ways I'm not sure I even fully comprehend. I appreciate RTs to get the word out, and I also am open to answering questions but please do not expect me to answer everything, this is very overwhelming. The only reason I am willing

Keep seeing this ‘No Arrest No Prosecution’ thing, by people who don’t really care for the truth. One of biggest myths of 2018. In every one of these States people have been arrested & are being prosecuted. One example: Zamfara, 117 arrests: google.com/amp/s/www.vang…

A #Thread
I think the starting point for commentary like this is to say that no death of any Nigerian at the hands of bandits & criminals is acceptable or justifiable. Even a single death is one too many. And one of the primary responsibilities of any Govt is security. That’s not in doubt.
So, this matter of ‘No Arrests No Prosecutions.’ It’s very far from true. The simplest of Google searches puts the lie to it.Also the Police regularly put out statements on large-scale arrests. I’ll share more links as part of this thread. This from Kaduna google.com/amp/s/punchng.…

It's back-to-school time so I want to share a little of my experience with being a Black admin in a school with 48% white students. This is specifically for parents of Black children so you know what happens in schools & are able to disrupt this issue with "discipline". #thread
I walked into a team teacher meeting (they're all white) who was to be doing curriculum planning. Instead, they switched it up and decided to call kids out of class to talk to them about their "behavior". I'll keep putting that in quotes since it was a nefarious act.
The Ts are on one side of the table and a Black student, we'll call him X, was on the other. He was slumped over, picking at his fingers. Walking in and seeing this I asked, "What's this?" They told me they were trying to talk to him about what he does in class. It smelled fishy.
