Barbara Piscitelli was asking me about useful websites for museum and gallery education.
Museums/galleries:
- SFMOMA online education resources
- Educator Resource Centre at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum
- MOMA's Red Studio
- Ingenious at the Science Museum, London
- Walker Art Center – I just love them
Barbara – you'll see here I selected mostly gallery websites as I know that's your interest.
Online educational resources:
- Futurelab innovation in education – a good resource
- Their Space – eeducation for a digital generation – my favourite report on young people and the internet
- Larry Ferlazzo's websites of the day – a great resource mainly for ESL learning but widely applicable. This link is to his best of the best for 2007 but the whole blog is worth exploring
- TeacherTube – a place for teachers (and students) to upload and share videos and tips
I know this is only a taste – it's a huge web world out there, the trick is to subscribe to a few things rather than a lot. To that end, for those folks who don't already know – we have a large online network called Museum 3.0 with over 240 members. Feel free to sign up and continue these conversations – we're having a discussion about education on there right now! It's the one-stop shop for all things museum and gallery-related.

Hi Lynda,
Thanks for the links. What a way to share ideas; I am really grateful for the information. I am actually very interested in babies and toddlers accessing museums at the beginning of their lifelong journey into science, nature, culture and art. So, if you know of specific programs featuring the very young - especially innovative programs - I would be happy to read more!
