What are teachers and students looking for from digital collections and platforms? In this session, education project leaders from the National Archives, the Smithsonian, and the Digital Public Library of America will, through the lens of their individual projects, lead a discussion on the big questions of digital GLAM education outreach:
1. What is the value of education work for cultural institutions?
2. What is the value of this content to teachers and students? How do they use it?
3. What are the most important considerations when designing for this audience?
4. What does it mean to put control in teachers’ hands? What are the advantages?
5. What are some useful first steps for connecting education audiences with digital collections?
