The Object in Question:   Getting Students to Be Critical Observers
November 1, 2012, 4:30-5:30 p.m. Mountain Time

Join veteran teacher and DMNS educator  Sharon Reiter as she takes things a step further from last year's webinar  to show us how objects can deepen students' critical thinking skills. From Museum artifacts to ordinary objects found in the classroom, the use of objects helps to stir your students' curiosity through inquiry learning.

The "I" in Pompeii and the "US" in Vesuvius
November 29, 2012, 4:30-5:30 p.m. Mountain Time

In conjunction with the exhibit, "A Day in Pompeii" we'll give you a special glimpse  for educators into this amazing exhibit. What was life like in this ancient city of the Roman Empire? How does this culture still influence us today?  And why does the destruction of Pompeii resonate so heavily with Americans and Westerners in general?   Take a tour with us and find ways to make this amazing discovery more meaningful for your students through personal perspectives and comparisons of life then and now.
Join Dr. Steve Nash, DMNS chair and curator of archaeology in the Anthropology Department, and Samantha Richards, the Museum's earth sciences educator, for this webinar for teachers grades 5-12, or educators interested in the topic.

There is no cost to participate, but registration is required.
