Webinar Recording: Your Museum & K12 Distance Learning
Your Museum & K12 Distance Learning: Insights from the Education Sector
Due to the Coronavirus, museums are facing a shift from in-person education programs to virtual learning experiences for K12 teachers and students. This change impacts the 2020-2021 academic year and beyond. In this webinar, we’ll explore the many opportunities for museums this change offers as well as new challenges.
We will be joined by experts in the K12 education sector in a practical panel discussion that will cover, among other things:
– How to unpack and tackle technology access challenges?
– What are Learning Management Systems and how do museums fit in?
– What are the best ways to deliver digital materials & lesson plans to educators and students?
– How to include grade level specific or learning standard specific materials?
– When do “live” experiences matter most?
You’ll walk away with insight from both the museum and K12 education sector as well as practical next steps for your institution.
