Adult females oust teenage boys as largest gaming demographic | The Rundown | PBS NewsHour - 0 views

  •  
    Well, I must fess up that I'm one of those adult females pushing out those teenage boys. And, like the study, I only play on my iPhone and iPad. What does that say about our world today I wonder. ? Should we develop more humnities-oriented games for folks like me, or should I just decide to "get a life" and get off-line? Thoughs

What is engagement, and when is it meaningful? | Museum Questions - 0 views

  • Garry Golden commented, “There is always risk of being seen as trendy or just buzz– but ‘engagement’ is a huge concept being explored today by people across the learning world…. I think engagement is a concept worth exploring.” And blogger Gretchen Jennings responded, in a post on her Museum Commons blog,  that she has and continues to “[urge] museum educators to focus less on formal education materials and methods and more on interpretive planning in exhibitions and visitor engagement in the museum, both on site and online. So I have decided to explore engagement in more depth. What is it, anyway? What would it mean for the-profession-formerly-known-as-museum- education to facilitate visitor engagement?
