Museum 2.0

FEBRUARY 5, 2008

But last year, over Thanksgiving, I sat next to a man who was working on his laptop (not an activity that invites conversation), creating a presentation on elementary education and technology. A former superintendent of such a district, he explained the basic premise to me: each student, from kindergarten on, has a personal laptop.

This morning I attended the MacArthur Foundation Digital Learning briefing that was taking place at the Natural History Museum in NYC. The environment for learning is no longer in the classroom and its online, and outside of school. "We know very little about the learning that is happening outside of classrooms."

Museum 2.0

MARCH 2, 2009

Many museums are experimenting with “back channel” platforms that allow visitors and staff to chat and share content while onsite at the museum. For some educators and curators, this may sound like a nightmare. I set it up, demonstrated it in the first session, and then participants were off to the races with their own laptops.
