Hi all

I'm totally biased*, but this is going to great. Plus there's support for those 
without the means to attend such conferences.

I really encourage those that can make it to attend.

Cheers,
Keir

*I'm part of the advisory committee.

[MCN-L] Job Posting: Digital educator at AMNH in NYC

2018-05-23 Thread Matthew Tarr 
 
The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City is one of the 
premier science, research and cultural institutions in the country. The 
American Museum of Natural History is seeking a part-time Youth Initiatives 
Digital Educator to co-teach science courses for New York City youth in on-site 
museum programs. Courses are for middle school and high school aged children, 
and can take many different formats, including a 12-hour Friday afternoon 
course, a 24-hour after-school research course that meets twice a week and is 
co-taught with a scientist, a 30-hour middle school institute that runs in the 
summer and over vacation breaks, and numerous different courses that run on 
weekends. 

The Digital Educator will also be responsible for reviewing curriculum in 
advance of classes, maintaining and growing our digital resources (e.g., 
computers, mobile devices, 3D printers, AR/VR devices), as well as recommending 
emerging technology with educational potential. This also includes working 
collaboratively with Youth Initiatives staff to troubleshoot issues reported by 
faculty and students. 

The Digital Educator will also collaborate with and coach the faculty in the 
use of instructional technologies to promote teaching and learning. 

Candidates will be asked to learn how to work with 3D printing, GIS, and 
possibly Skyrim and Sculptris. The candidate must be able to learn and co-teach 
courses in a manner that aligns with the Museum's student-centered pedagogical 
approach that strives to engage and excite youth through museum-based, 
hands-on, interactive learning. Candidates must be available to work select 
Saturdays and Sundays, and when working on weekdays, be available to teach 
until 6:30pm. 

The Educator will report directly to and will be supervised by the Senior 
Manager of Curriculum and Teaching.
