What’s the big idea?
• Digital media projects, such as videos, or podcasts, that communicate an important story related to your museum can empower small museums to reach big audiences.
• Like the foundation for a strong exhibit, the foundation for a strong digital media project is the idea, or ideas that are being communicated in it.

Collaboration Defined
• Webster’s Definition:– To work jointly with
others or together in an [intellectual] endeavor.
– To cooperate with an agency with which one is not immediately connected.
Your Definition: • Ask your colleagues what their
definitions of “collaborative” means to each of them. Identify some of the negative points and then identify some of the positive points of collaboration.
– Are there examples they can give of their own experiences with collaborative projects? What are some helpful tips each one can bring to your digital media project now?

Increase and diversify your audience . . .
• Collaborative projects with schools, colleges or other cultural organizations bring in new audiences.
• These projects are a “win-win” if they are managed well. Be sure to create a project plan with the entire team’s input.– I like to use the One Page Business Plan approach to my
project plans. The website with more info is:• www. http://www.onepagebusinessplan.com/
• New audiences can bring in opportunities for new funding sources, so research those new possibilities.

Tips for working with students in digital media
• Give students a leadership role
• Create a healthy structure that helps students know what to expect.
• Meet on a set day and time each week. Showing up is 90% of getting the work done.
• Good project management leads to a team that is both energized and committed to creating a valuable media project.
