I have always hoped that our PocketMuseum project would be used not just on the handhelds we supply, but also on visitors' own web-enabled handhelds. But there are a lot more mp3 players out there than web-enabled handhelds (for now). This would be a much quicker path to getting visitors to take advantage of their own devices. --Matt --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: rlancefi...@mail.wesleyan.edu To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-mcn_mcn-l-12800...@listserver.americaneagle.com
Re: Podcasting - Recreating the Museum Tour
There has been a lot of activity in podcasting field trips to museums in schools -- I found a few interesting links and blogged them. http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2005/05/remix_moma_part.html Also, David Gilbert has bookmarked all the articles related to this project and you might find a few other examples http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2005/05/thats_art_mobs_.html And, if you are in NYC, there is a NYC podcasting group where a few folks had done this ... I'd be interested in learning about other examples as well as blogging, wikis, and mobs ...
