8. Choosing Tools Some useful practices for using tools Love it or leave it Learn enough to get started, experiment, play with tools Don't be scared of technology and don't be ashamed of "partial knowledge" Find techie friends to learn from Stretch your tech comfort zone. Try a new tool every X months As you look at tools, think about them in context of your group's goals or needs. Here are a few questions to keep in mind. What is the main activity or function that a tool might support for you? (i.e. information exchange, idea creation, decision making, social/group building experiences.) As you look or experiment with the tool, think about how easy/hard it is to figure it out. How might your potential users react to the tool? What do you like best about the tool? Least? Will your users have the machine power and bandwidth to successfully utilize the tool? Does the tool work on both MAC and PC platforms? Do they have to have always-on internet access? High bandwidth? Is it "pushed" to the user (i.e. alerts of new messages or full content delivered to the user both on the web and via email box) or must the user go to the web and "pull" the information to themselves? If it is pull, what will be the trigger? The attention holding plan? Do you need asynchronous tools? Synchronous? Both? Does the system support fonts and interfaces in other languages? (Some of these issues are tool based, some are browser based.) Is the cost reasonable? At what scale? If the tool is deployed for a time delimited event, is there a "snapshot" utility to archive the interactions (ie. for a CD or other type of static archive)? http://onlinefacilitation.wikispaces.com/Love+Your+Tools Nancy White, Full Circle Associates (on of the most experience practitioners of online facilitation) 30th August 2009 8 Meeting 2.0 meets Web 2.0

A more formal set of The Rules of Bar Camp 1st Rule: You do talk about BarCamp. 2nd Rule: You do blog about BarCamp. 3rd Rule: If you want to present, you must write your topic and name in a presentation slot. 4th Rule: Only three word intros. 5th Rule: As many presentations at a time as facilities allow for. 6th Rule: No pre-scheduled presentations, no tourists. 7th Rule: Presentations will go on as long as they have to or until they run into another presentation slot. 8th Rule: If this is your first time at BarCamp, you HAVE to present. (Ok, you don't really HAVE to, but try to find someone to present with, or at least ask questions and be an interactive participant.) by TantekÇelik as parodied from The Rules of Fight Club.
