Description
Book SynopsisMuseum Movement Techniques describes the theory and methods of an original approach using movement to learn about museum objects. By calling on students to express their understanding of exhibits through physical movement and then helping them reflect on their choices, teachers and museum educators can increase the engagement and comprehension of school age children and other kinesthetic learners. Weisberg weaves practical examples of her own experiences in museum education, including tips on techniques, museum object selection criteria, educational linking, and assessment methods, with the theories and concepts of kinesthetic learning. The accompanying DVD, which demonstrates Weisberg''s movement techniques in a variety of museum settings, only adds to value of this powerful handbook for innovative educators.
