Hello Museum Professionals,
The Tech Virtual will resume our training series on Tue. 5/26 at 9AM PDT.
 Registration is required at: (http://techvirtualtraining.eventbrite.com)
These interactive sessions run through a standard web browser, and you can
participate by text chat or even voice ("webinar" format).
Registration is open to all those who work in museums or in related work.
Focus will be on implementing online tools to design not only better
exhibits, but also extend the presence of the institution.
Lots of interesting speakers lined up, running through the end of June, so I
hope you can make all or at least some of it.
Certificate of Completion or similar recognition if you can make all of
them. (Session 1 will repeat late June, if you missed it).
Hope to see you there,
Best,
Bob Ketner
