Discover Digital Museum Resources through the Smithsonian Learning Lab
Tuesday, January 24, 2017 | 7-8 pm ET
FREE for NAEA Members; $49 for non-members

Join three museum educators from the Smithsonian Institution to learn more about the ways digital museum resources found in the new Smithsonian Learning Lab can support creative art instruction. From inquiry-based strategies in examining the American experience through artworks to exploring Asian art with a lens of increasing global competency skills with your students, the Learning Lab holds potential for all grade levels. Teachers and students can create, customize, and adapt personal collections of resources, and use interactive tools to annotate resources noting details, pose discussion questions, and sort resources on a spectrum or categories to make connections between multiple artworks.
