Museum-Ed is pleased to announce the launch of the Museum-Ed Web site
at http://www.museum-ed.org, a resource designed to support and build
on the Museum-Ed Discussion List.
Museum-Ed is a not-for-profit Web site dedicated to providing museum
educators opportunities to ask questions, to exchange ideas, to
explore current issues, to share resources, to reflect on
experiences, and to inspire new directions in museum education.
Museum-Ed is not a membership organization. All of the resources on
the Museum-Ed Web site are free and available to educators in any
type of museum, and anyone interested in the field of museum
education.
The History of Museum-Ed
Museum-Ed began as a discussion list created in response to an
Education Committee (EDCOM) luncheon at the 1995 American Association
of Museums Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. At the luncheon, museum
educators expressed a need to create a network for the easy exchange
of information. With that goal in mind, the Museum-Ed Discussion List
was created by Kris Wetterlund and Larisa Somsel. In 2003 the list
was upgraded and moved to the Museum-Ed Web site to provide
additional support and services.
In the future we hope to publish research and reproduce articles and
reports, to include a database of museum education resources,
information and links about related sites, funding opportunities and
services. Our goal is to provide all of this to everyone who is
interested at no charge, without any passwords or log-ins. We hope
the site will be used and contributed to by all museum educators.
Take a look at www.museum-ed.org and direct your ideas and critiques
