ExhibitFiles is a community-based site launched last month to encourage the documentation, sharing, and exploration of exhibits and the exhibit design process. Last week, I spoke with Jim Spadaccini ( Ideum ) and Wendy Pollock ( ASTC ) about their experiences creating this site. NSF seems to be perfectly happy with that.

A couple months ago, I visited a Community Science Workshop for the first time in Watsonville, CA. We received two rounds of NSF funding in the 1990s to expand.

Instead of searching based only on the taxonomy assigned by the authority who runs the site (i.e. the name of this site is X or the name of this artifact is Y), you can search based on the terms that users identify with the item. Every time you and your partner player come up with the same tag for an image, you both get points.

I first saw Scratch a few years ago, when I had friends working at the Media Lab, and at the time it seemed like a neat way for kids who were unfamiliar with programming to jump in and start designing their own interactive stories and games. If you've clicked on a link to the site from this post, congratulations--you are a ScratchR spectator.
