ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Soon two of the big museum conferences, The Association of Children's
Museums (ACM) and The American Association of Museums (AAM) will be
taking place in Denver. And many, if not most, of the presenters at
both these conferences will be packing a laptop loaded with
PowerPoint presentations.
"Why are some of the most creative people in the world using such
powerful computer technology to present such boring, non-interactive
speeches?"
As noted on the ExhibiTricks blog: <http://blog.orselli.net/2008/04/
want-better-museum-conferences-how.html> there are some interesting
alternatives.
Feel free to add your comments and suggestions on how to make the
museum conferences more engaging.
And, if you are attending either AAM or ACM, please consider offering
the suggestion for "A Day Without PowerPoint" on every evaluation
form you turn in!
