Get to know your audience by letting them decide which questions, suggestions or ideas interest them most.

Include people in your preparation for lectures, interviews and hard decisions or work together to organize feature requests and brainstorm new ideas.

Think about this in terms of libraries: "Art and history are something you do, not just something you learn about. By inviting people to actively participate with us in co-creating programming, we empower them as creative agents, cultural producers, and people for whom the museum is a relevant, compelling partner. Being a strong community hub requires bringing people together across difference, encouraging bridging experiences instead of targeting a specific audience. When we work with diverse collaborators, from opera singers and ukelele players to knitters and graffiti artists, we catalyze new partnerships and relationships that make our community stronger and more cohesive. We believe in fearless experimentation. It is only by trying things out, challenging our assumptions, and analyzing the results that we can adapt and thrive in a changing world."

Journalist Maggie Farley has created a game called Factitious -- modeled after the dating application Tinder -- to help people distinguish between fake news and real journalism. Farley designed the game for middle- and high-school students, but she says it can be useful for all ages.

This is a great resource if you are looking to add something new to your digital citizenship lessons/curriculum. The really great aspect of this is that it also has a video game component which students absolutely love (Interland)! This provides background and lessons which an lead to students playing Interland - a fun way to discuss a serious topic.
