A Tale of Technology and Collaboration: Preparing for 21st-Century Museum Visitors
Mitchell, Allyson; Linn, Sarah; Yoshida, Hitomi
Journal of Museum Education, v44 n3 p242-252 2019
As younger generations become immersed in technology, museums and cultural institutions must create a familiar digital experience to cultivate connections with the 21st century visitor. Authors present an example of working with institutional content experts to create a digital outreach package that activates the museum's content to engage K-12 student groups in cognitive learning and prepare them for future museum visits. They identify methods for forging valuable, cross-departmental collaborations and highlight diverse learning approaches that capitalize on existing resources, expertise, and technology.
