We know teaching today's events—which are not a “moment,” but the product of a long history—presents a familiar, yet unusually urgent, challenge: how can students use historical knowledge and thinking to understand the present? Here are some resources that might help. #sschat

How do you talk to your children about scary news events? Encourage your kids to share what they already know, let them ask questions, and offer simple, age-appropriate, information. to.pbs.org/3s2E3m4

The removal of an educational program or event must only be undertaken with a full understanding of the significance of the program, its character, and any loss of public trust that might result from such action.

Where should this call for papers be posted to encourage BIPOC to submit? Is there a museum-bipoc hashtag? Etc.

Cutting educators is the fastest way for historic sites and museums to save money and lose relevance.

A view from the speaker side of the webinar: I had a great time as 1 of 4 panelists today for the @ColaMuseum webinar for art educators "Kick-Start Your Virtual Art Class". So many resources shared! Of course the #MakeAChicken project made an appearance 😍🎨 #kickstARTvirtualart

I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the consumers of current museum digit are other museum professionals trying to get ideas. I fear we are in a horrible self-perpetuating circle.

Logical start for museum exploration in Copenhagen: @DesignmuseumDK. Not surprisingly, the Danish chair exhibition was a fave. Made a little video of it to share the clever way they incorporate all the didactic info without compromising the super clean aesthetic. #ITweetMuseums – at Copenhagen, Denmark

Museums could create these kind of kits for kids too - instead of traveling trunks for teachers. I kind of like this focus on self-directed learning better.
Although admittedly, keeping track of all this back and forth is pretty labor intensive.
Iowa City Public Library (@icpl) is solving a problem familiar to many parents. Kids want to try a new hobby, but they might not stick with it long enough to justify purchasing new equipment. kwwl.com/news/iowa-city-news…
