We are really looking forward to learning about an amazing new, FREE, digital platform for teachers and students with thousands of Smithsonian resources being made available to all of us! This is a perfect time to hear all about it, begin exploring the possibilities for our classrooms and start preparing to use it with our students! We are thrilled to have Ashley Naranjo and Darren Milligan joining us to share about the Smithsonian Learning Lab!
Description:
Museums and other cultural organizations are an underused digital destination for K–12 teachers looking for authentic, engaging, and practical resources for their classrooms. Today’s museums are making millions of images and recordings freely available, going far beyond yesterday’s traditional field trip. Come learn about these possibilities, including a sneak peek of a new digital platform from the world’s largest museum, education, and research center, the Smithsonian Learning Lab (http://learninglab.si.edu) which will launch officially at the ISTE conference later this month. Attendees will explore how digitized museum collections can be used in new ways to excite learning, grow argumentative reasoning, develop collaborative thinking, and more.
As the Learning Initiatives Specialist with the Smithsonian Center for Learning and Digital Access, Ashley Naranjo develops and implements online interactive learning experiences for both educators and students. Before coming to the Smithsonian, she has worked in education in both formal and informal learning spaces: as an ESOL instructor, middle school substitute teacher and a summer programs assistant director for Congressional Schools of Virginia. She is currently pursuing a M.Ed. in Learning Design and Technology from the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California.
Darren Milligan leads strategy for digital outreach at the Center for Learning and Digital Access at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. There he researches and develops services for making online museum resources accessible and useful to educators and learners, including producing experiences such as online games and interactives, managing pan-Institutional communication and marketing for teachers, and directing web platforms, including the online portal for educational resources at the Institution, SmithsonianEducation.org, and the new Smithsonian Learning Lab. Darren was formerly producer and art director of the teacher magazine, Smithsonian in Your Classroom, distributed to every primary and secondary school in the United States.
