Apropos

During one of my all too frequent quests around the web (on my vacation!) I came across a very interesting educational site. Actually it's a commercial site for Apple Computers, but like many companies they occasionally make some effort at supporting education. This page was particularly interesting after having put together an exhibit at the Newark Museum. Apropos to this experience I wanted to share an interesting idea for an exciting lesson. At Apple's site they provide plans on how to lead students through setting up an audio tour of a museum exhibit using their IPod product. I thought this would be a great lesson for students in putting together their own pedagogical unit through a museum exhibit. It would also be a great formative assessment for a field trip to the museum! I will talk to the people at Newark Museum and let you know if they are interested in incorporating superlative podcasts of these tours into their exhibits...
