Augmenting Museums and K-16. July 9, 2012. Last month, I kicked off a series of posts. About museums and emerging technologies, and specifically the actual and potential interplay of technologies across educational sectors (K-12, museums, and higher ed) and how museums might make the most of these intersections. In this post I’m going to consider augmented reality a technology the New Media Consortium forecasts. The NMC’s 2011 Horizon Report for museums. Augmented Reality is already in some museums.

Hire me (I’m here to help)

http://museumblogging.com/hire-me

Hire me (I’m here to help). I help museums move past their roadblocks and various stucknesses* related to education, broadly defined:. Exhibition research and development. Professional development of staff, volunteers, and interns. Outreach, especially via new technologies. Evaluation of exhibitions, projects, and programs. The (stiff) professional spiel. But really. . . I’ve felt your pain. I understand resource shortages. I’ve designed exhibit signage on computers that should be in the Smithsonian.

May 9, 2012. While researching local history, one of my students recently came across an old newspaper article she thought I’d find amusing. Titled “Old Scenes Take Form At Museum,” it was a piece on a new exhibit opening in the state history museum. You can see where this is going, right? The exhibit featured in the newspaper is still up today, and from the description in the article, it appears it hasn’t changed at all. The newspaper article was published in the early 1960s. First, it’s not good ...
