We had a guest lecturer on Monday (although for some reason this week has seemed really long so it seems like weeks ago already), and she was super good. Although I think the purpose of Elisa's lecture was to outline some of the current issues being faced in creating internet museum experiences, the part I liked most was actually her discussion of her own work. Her use of sound to help build an experience people can relate to in a tangible way is exactly the sort of thing that museums, both virtual and physical, can use to help inspire audiences to learn and think. So anyway, guest lecture=awesome (as are Rob's lectures)!
In completely different but still totally wonderful news, today I started volunteering for the Boulder History Museum, and it was the most exciting thing ever. I get to make my own exhibit! Granted, it will be a small, 2-D exhibit, but that is way more creative control than I expected to be given my first day volunteering! I am unbelievably excited to start my research. Hopefully I can relate some of my experience volunteering to the stuff we do in class.
