MAS Engaging Technology Webinar Series

High-Tech, Low-Budget Tools Your Museum Can Use

Low-cost electronics and computing tools are changing the way museums work, and these new technologies are getting easier to use than ever before.

Join us for a series of webinars about how you can use new technologies in your museum. Whether you want to market with social media, build your own electronics, or learn about cutting-edge augmented reality applications, we can get you started.

Register online at http://learningtimesevents.org/engagingtech/.

First up:
Social Media and Museums
15 February at 2:00

Social media like facebook and twitter are often touted as low-cost, effective communications tools, but they demand a different approach than traditional media. In this webinar, you will learn about what makes social media different, how others are using it, and how you might apply them in your museum work.

Presented by Alec Couros, professor of educational technology and media at the University of Regina

Saskatchewan Science Centre Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition

Until March 4, 2012

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition takes you on a journey back in time to experience the legend of Titanic like never before. The galleries in this fascinating Exhibition feature over 150 real artifacts recovered from the ocean floor along with room re-creations and personal stories; each highlighting a different chapter in the compelling story of Titanic's maiden voyage.

On April 15, 1912 RMS Titanic, the world’s largest Ship, sank after colliding with an iceberg, claiming more than 1,500 lives, and subsequently altering the world’s confidence in modern technology. Today, almost 100 years later, more than 100 legendary artifacts conserved from the Ship’s debris field will be showcased, offering visitors a poignant look at this iconic Ship and its passengers.  

The Exhibition has been designed with a focus on the legendary RMS Titanic’s compelling human stories as best told through authentic artifacts and extensive room re-creations. Perfume from a maker who was traveling to New York to sell his samples, china etched with the logo of the elite White Star Line, and many other authentic objects offer haunting, emotional connections to lives abruptly ended or forever altered.

Upon entering the exhibit visitors will quickly be drawn back in time to 1912, each receiving a replica boarding pass of an actual passenger aboard Titanic. You’ll begin with a chronological journey through the life of Titanic, moving through the Ship’s construction, to life on board, to the ill-fated sinking and amazing artifact rescue efforts. You will marvel at the re-created first class cabin while learning of countless stories of heroism and humanity. Lastly, guests will take their boarding pass to the memorial wall and discover whether their passenger and traveling companions survived or perished.

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is produced by RMS Titanic Inc. and has been seen by more than 22 million people throughout North America and Europe over the past 15 years.
