2.3 After the museum visit




Main topics of the video:


  • Give the students the opportunity to exhibit their learning
  • Put on the board different exhibits
  • Reading class, math class, social science class, science class, all work together
  • Exhibits: visual art, art pieces, write poems , create labels etc
  • Assess what has to be learned


ACTIVITY

Choose a traditional static exhibit in a museum you could visit / have visited with your class – you may search the Internet for photos taken by visitors or use your own experience. Go to this forum thread and briefly describe the exhibit or (if possible) post a picture, then describe the way(s) you could make this exhibit more interactive and explain how this could help facilitate the understanding of the exhibit. 


After a museum visit, an activity we had 2 years ago was the creation of a virtual museum of our local archaeological museum in Greece



The students took pictures of the exhibits they had worked on, and then created easily their own virtual museum with the web tool ArtSteps.
