  • it’s why we as educators carry a toolbox
  • activities for any occasion, any learner, and keep them at the ready for our audience.
  • As museum educators, we are consistently looking for ways to make art interactive and for experiences to happen in the gallery. There are people that just want to sit, look at a works and have a quiet moment
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Even in a busy NYC museum, you can find yourself alone in a space, enjoying the art. But it’s not for everyone. Some people literally do not know what to do with a work in front of them.
  • Museum programming opens up the world beyond the quiet sitters and lecture attendees.
  • What is a real museum
  • But as times changed, the ideas behind museums have change
  • They think it’s important because it’s hanging in a museum, but they don’t understand WHY.
  • And for many people, they don’t even go to the museum because of hours, past experiences as kids brought to expand their attention span, stigma
  • And the biggest thank you to every single education department working to make the institution accessible, available and awesome to everyone.

  • They’re still listed as endangered, though their numbers are recovering.
  • scientists need to map out the different populations of fin whales.
  • know how well they’re doing
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Fin whales sing, and like humans, the sounds they make are different in different parts of the world
  • Scientists often use genetic data to map out populations. But fin whales are distributed throughout the world’s oceans. To get DNA samples from everywhere would be hugely expensive. But perhaps there’s an easier solution.
  • If they do, then scientists will be better able to protect fin whales just by listening to them

  • What works in science and math education?
  • For example, one conclusion from the new research is that the choice of instructional materials — textbooks, curriculum guides, homework, quizzes — can affect achievement as profoundly as teachers themselves;
  • So far, the office — the Institute of Education Sciences — has supported 175 randomized studies
