"Hello, Margari. I was chuffed to see that the questions being raised in the context of the CyberSociety museums workgroup are posed in Freirean terms of the banking model and dialogue. I used a Freirean model of learning in my PhD thesis about…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a cultural technologist / digital engagement architect intent on empowering people to engage with and learn about themselves, the world and history.
My PhD thesis was a reading of the Australian War Memorial in a Freirean framework – as a site for informal learning. If you're not familiar with Freire's work, he was a Brazilian educator who practised a radical notion of dialogue with students: he was 'co-intent' on learning with them. My project explored how museums could be co-intent on learning with visitors.
Now that Web 2.0 has become mainstream, the idea of a participatory museum makes much more sense. The new museology has talked the talk of community dialogue for decades now. Web technology makes it technically easy to walk the walk. Baby steps are being taken all over the place – yay. There are still organisational cultural barriers to co-creation in most museums, but audience expectations will, I reckon, force the change. Bring it on!
I made my first websites in 1997 and am still continually awed and excited by the possibilities of web technology for personal and community development.
My skills include research; writing; editing; strategic, creative and visual thinking; and project management – all of which I have applied to my work in the field of digital culture.
Also happy to make contact with others in this field. Hello!

Mapping our Anzacs
A new way to explore and interact with records of World War I service people – including soldiers, nurses, officers, chaplains – is possible via Mapping our Anzacs.
Browse to a service record via maps with markers for each person's place of birth or enlistment. Once you've found a record, you can add a note or photo about that person to the scrapbook. Or you can jump from one person's details back into the maps to explore some more.… Continue

National Archives' first use of Flickr
National Archives of Australia's April Find of the Month uses Flickr to create and embed a slideshow of an album of photographs from Gallipoli in 1915.
It is a better way of viewing the album than our collection database RecordSearch currently provides – there, you can only get to each page via each (separate) item description page...
