Hello All - 
  I am doing some research for an article I am writing in "Science  Activities" for elementary science teachers.  I am suggesting  novel and creative ways that teachers can connect with museums using  technology. I think most teachers use our sites for field trip  planning, but I would like to suggest ways they can dig a little deeper.
  
   I plan to mention in-exhibit computer interactives, content  delivered to mobile phones or PDA's, podcasting and audioguides. I  would particularly like to highlight on-line or in-exhibit  opportunities that allow students to connect with collections, original  source documents or actual data that they could view.
  
  If your museum is doing something new and interesting specifically for  teachers or the school audience using technology, or you know another  museum which I should know about please reply to me off-list.  I  plan to mention specific web sites and projects in my article.
  Thanks in advance!
