Recommendations for AIC Teen Programs
• Develop a Teen Programs Facebook page
-Update regularly with the goal of teens ultimately maintaining it themselves (perhaps responsibility of Teen Lab or Teen Council)
-Post engaging discussion questions and prompts
-Use for announcements and the promotion of blog, YouTube, and Flickr pages
-“Friend” everyone
- YouTube and Flickr pages should also be developed for online gallery space
- YouTube can contain all available time-based work by students
- Flickr page can have images posted on a quarterly/semester basis
• MySpace, Twitter, etc. do not seem necessary at this point
• Develop a Teen Blog akin to The Whit or the WACTAC blogs
-Authored by Teen Programs instructors, interns, and students
- Integrate blog into program curricula as an extended learning tool

Focus Group: AIC Teen Programs Web Presence
DRAFT Questions (ver 3)

[Let’s collect age and gender info from Hillary]
How often do you use the Internet? Hours per week?
What do you use the internet for for?
What percentage of your friends do you think have Internet access at home, at school, or on a phone? (may want to describe "percentage" if their unclear)
Do you use social networks like My Space or Facebook? Why? And how often? Which do you prefer most?
If Teen Lab had a Facebook page would you be a fan? Why be a fan?
I’ll read a list of sites let me know if you use these sites and why:
YouTube, Blogger, Xanga, Open Diary, Live Journal, Blogster, Twitter, Ning, OkCupid, Flickr, Flixster, DevianART
Would you participate in a Teen Programs blog? And/or would you like to get emails about special events and workshops?
How did you learn about Teen Programs at the Art Institute?
Let’s say you’d never been to the Art Institute before--what stuff would you want to see about Teen Programs to show you what they’re really like? <--Perhaps reword such as:
Let's say you are new to the Art Institute of Chicago–What type of awesome event, activity, exhibit, or workshop would get your attention and make you feel like coming to the museum? For example, a ride simulator? Or an interactive computer game exhibit? Or perhaps a workshop to learn anime?
-------------------------
I slightly change the order of the last few questions but overall looks good. Best to not make it too long.

Technology: Moma Teen Audio (podcasts developed and narrated by teens about specific works; very well done, with fun music, sound effects, and interviews with security guards, curators, etc.); Red Studio (website developed in collaboration with high school to explore issues and questions raised by teens about modern art; incredible forum for teens to debate and discuss; attracts very repuatble artists; site features filmed interviews conducted by teens
Social Networks: Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter (nicely designed for teens; used for publicity and as a gallery space for work created in the programs; encourage discussion with prompts such as “what creative thing will you do this weekend?” or What's your all time favorite work of art???”; not much interaction; most dialogue seems to occur on Facebook)
Comments: Red Studio website is separate from the Teen Programs webpage on the main site--why can't Red Studio be the teen page on the museum site?
2. Metropolitan Museum of Art
New York, NY
http://www.metmuseum.org/events/teens/
General Education Programming: adults, school, teachers, community outreach, families, accessible programs, scholars, teens, college

Comments: MoMA podcasts for teens much more effective than Met Teen/TweenCasts; the teen podcast about Mimiko (who inexplicably speaks with an American accent, though she's supposed to be a Japanese teen visitor) is uncomfortably "sing-songy" and boring and exhaustively praises the Met; the podcast created by teen is better, but the sound quality is awful; TweenCasts were developed for, not by, tweens and is narrated by an adult with classical music in background; on website, nothing visually distinguishes teen or tween podcasts as for young audience and are not made accessible via teen page or social networks;
