Really enjoyed this article posted by Emily

After reading the article, one section really stood out for me. I thought this quote was pretty powerful... "I believe that we can repair the damage done, and change public perception, by rethinking and reshaping our approach to arts education. I propose that the critical skills of creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving can be developed by design—not acquired by accident or as a byproduct—using the arts as tools." The idea of utilizing the arts to encourage the development of these skill is extremely empowering. My question is.... how quickly can we break down the restrictive barriers of standardization to introduce a new way of free thinking and creativity?!

the museum experience...
While cruising around the Museum 2.0 website, I found this post especially interesting... the discussion regarding what is a "quality" museum experience resonated with my thinking about how to include technology into the museum. How can we find a balance between fostering a "quality" museum experience and creating a space where diverse groups of people can get the most out of their museum experience? Can this balance be found through the use of technology? What needs to be done?
