Good afternoon, all.
We are in the process of looking at ways to enrich the exhibit field trip experiences of the teachers and students who come on a field trip, particularly on a heavy field trip day-which for us can be about 1,500 in the exhibit galleries.
I was wondering if you all could share some of the techniques and tips you use to help teachers and chaperones use your exhibit galleries effectively. The tips could be operational in nature (how to get groups to not all visit the same gallery at the same time) or educational in nature (how do you help groups go deeper into the educational experiences of the exhibit and not just "window-shop" from component to component).
Thanks in advance,
Anne
