Webinar 1 - Social Media and Museums - $25.00

Social media like facebook and twitter are often touted as low-cost, effective communications tools, but they demand a different approach than traditional media. In this webinar, you will learn about what makes social media different, how others are using it, and how you might apply them in your museum work.

Presented by: Alec Couros, professor of educational technology and media at the University of Regina

Date: 15 February at 2:00pm Central Time

Webinar 2 - Build Your Own Interactive Whiteboard on a Budget - $25.00

Museums everywhere are striving to increase the participatory and interactive nature of their programming and exhibits. Commercial interactive whiteboards are one high-tech answer to this need. However, these devices are too expensive for many museums.

But you can build your own for a fraction of the price. In this session, you’ll learn how to create your very own interactive whiteboard using a wiimote, projector and computer—and you don't need to be a technological genius to do it!
