Our next Study Visit will be held jointly with DLNet (the Digital Learning network) at the National Coal Mining Museum for England near Wakefield on Friday 17 October, and is organised jointly with Stuart Berry (now at the Galleries of Justice). This event looks at how museums can use digital technologies, particularly when working with schools.
A rough outline of the day is provided below, subject to slight change. Again this event is a bargain at just £10 for GEM members, and £20 for non-members.
