Online Resources for Museum Education

Returning from AAM, web 2.0 was the hot topic. Museums are using web 2.0 to increase their outreach, start new conversations, and engage their audience in new ways. AAM even added a blog for their Annual Meeting this year. Check it out here. From video to Facebook applications, museums are using social networking to facilitate new approaches to their collections and exhibitions. Museums are even making more of their resources available online. Are they giving away the experience or building another layer of interaction for the visitor? As we take a look at some of these new ideas in class, think about applications in the Yager Museum.
