Chris was kind enough to <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XsOjTrjXfk1p0tv58HTml3ODdTjbxQjx">share the slides from his presentation in pdf form</a>. Below are a few links noted during the presentation questions and answers session.<br />
<br />
He has also provided an answer to one of the questions asked at the Mini Conference:<br />
<br />
"Waste diversion in Ontario is shifting towards a circular economy, meaning that the producers of items which become waste materials will become responsible for reusing/recycling/disposing of them. It is still in development with regards of exactly how that will look but the province has been taking this seriously even through the transition in provincial governments. I’ve attached the original policy which was brought forward by Minister Glen Murray back in 2017 and as far as I am aware seems to still be the most recent version. If possible it would be great if you could forward this along attachment and my blerb to the gentleman who was presenting alongside Ashley as I feel he would be interested to learn more about this upcoming change to how we handle waste in Ontario."<br />

She has since focused her museum career in telling historic stories in engaging, unique, and memorable ways. Like a true Millennial, she also continues to work at Guelph Museums as a Visitor Experience Assistant.HMEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14560233375869820361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128846679467749467.post-30284349393036657162019-10-01T08:32:00.001-07:002019-10-01T08:32:32.400-07:00Drinkin' About Museums: Danica Evering and Connecting with Diverse AudiencesHME Drinkin About Museums<br />

<ul>
<li>Audiences
Reaching out: drum up support</li>
<li>Use intimacy inherent in exhibition to reach out.</li>
<li>Show is about longing, grief, textiles.</li>
<li>Correspond that with different programs.</li>
<li>Fashion students, for example.</li>
<li>Each group invited in came with their own expertise.</li>
<li>Tactics: for a show of Inuit video art. Just googled “humber inuit” got hits for a group that went to the arctic every year.</li>
<li>Wearable technology piece, brought in multimedia students.</li>
<li> Act of reaching out. Make a specific invitation letter.
Being open to new audiences: kindergarteners interested in coming.</li>
<li>Program coordinators were the leads.</li>
<li>Knows about 2 months ahead of time, themes and the artists.</li>
<li>Adapt the themes of the exhibit to meet the needs of different audiences.
Read syllabuses, found common ground.</li>
<li>Community development: with year-long students</li>
<li>Plain language: curators wrote poems for didactic panels. Avoids overly academic explanatory text. Gave people a feeling of what and exhibition is about.</li>
<li>Worked at Humber for 1.5 years</li>
<li>Actively being a part of a community, going to their things. Reciprocal connections.</li>
<li>Important to have a small meeting space (open space).</li>
<li>Gallery attendants: fostering their social skills, welcoming.</li>
<li>Meeting spaces.
Asking profs for feedback: if you’re not coming to the gallery why not?</li>

<br />
<u>Getting your hands dirty: Planting seeds & taking action</u><br />
The McQuesten Urban Farm is a community lead urban agriculture project that began nearly ten years ago. The people living in the McQuesten neighbourhood envisioned long-term solutions to the food insecurity challenges they faced, and brought people and partners together to make their dreams a reality. The three-acre farm is the first of its kind in Hamilton and uniquely positioned to offer community job creation, hands-on workshops, talks, tours, drop-in activities and curriculum linked education programs. The project is rooted in sustainable design and practices which include an outdoor classroom, native plant & pollinator gardens, greenhouses constructed from retrofit shipping containers, organic farming techniques including bio-available soil amendments, stewardship of the land, and collective agency over the access to and distribution of local whole food within the McQuesten neighbourhood.<br />
<br />
Sapphire Singh has an Honors BA in Art History from McMaster University. She has worked and volunteered in the non-profit environmental sector for over 20 years exploring and developing opportunities for skills sharing and interactive learning. Singh has worked as the Green Garden & Volunteer Coordinator at Green Venture, and Presentation Coordinator at the Hamilton Farmers’ Market. Today she divides her time between two unique and dynamic workplaces as an Engagement Coordinator at the McQuesten Urban Farm and Historical Garden Demonstrator and Interpreter at Dundurn National Historic Site. Inspired by DIY and craftivist culture, Singh seeks out creative opportunities for cross sector collaboration and programming connected to sustainable urban agriculture.<br />

<u>Engaging with Climate Change: How to connect with people and create impacts </u><br />
<br />
Climate change is a massive, complex issue that is both shaping and threatening society. Frighteningly, it is the cultures of humanity that are driving the climate crisis. For museums that aim to do something meaningful and impactful about climate change, the challenge is both compelling and daunting.<br />
<br />
This participatory workshop and discussion will help museum practitioners deepen their understanding of the causes and impacts of climate change. Participants will also develop effective ways to address the climate crisis by leveraging the strengths and opportunities available to museums, as well as through building vital relationships with the public that they serve. The workshop will introduce tools that will help you design and plan public programs that will connect with people and have cultural impacts on the climate crisis.<br />
<br />
<b>Douglas Worts</b> is a culture & sustainability specialist, in Toronto. Approaching culture broadly, as ‘how we live our lives’, Douglas sees museums as potential facilitators in forging an emerging ‘culture of sustainability’. Earning a MMSt degree in 1982, his next 25 years involved developing experimental exhibits and using integrated audience research at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Through the past two decades, Douglas has focused on how culture shapes and directs the prospects for global human sustainability/unsustainability. He has published and spoken widely on topics from visitor-based creativity, experimental exhibits, technology, learning, new museological models and more. In recent years, the field of ‘systems-thinking’ has become fundamental – locating the forces and factors that create our living culture, which is demonstrably unsustainable. Largely retired, Douglas remains active in the Coalition of Museums for Climate Justice, serves on several committees and task forces related to culture and sustainability, as well as publishing and speaking on a range of museological topics.<br />

<b>Ashley Watson</b> is an arts administrator and arts educator with a proven commitment to improving the availability of the arts to diverse audiences. Ashley is a graduate of University of Toronto’s Arts Management BA program and has a MFA from the University of Leicester in Art Museum and Gallery Studies. Her academic knowledge is supported by over eight years of professional experience working in the arts and cultural sector most recently as the Curator at Humber Galleries and as a sessional faculty in the Arts Management program at the University of Toronto. She also relishes her time spent in the garden, riding horses and rock picking.<br />

<b>Unusual Suspects: Art’s Expanded Relevance</b></div>
<div>
Using her work as the Education Officer at Humber Galleries as a starting point, Danica will talk through some of her engagement strategies to build learning relationships with unusual suspects. Reaching out beyond the art programs at the college, the art community, and the “general public,” the education program brought in recent immigrant students, outdoor elementary school groups, new teachers, after-school programs and more. The gallery developed responsive programming for students from community and justice services; fashion; journalism; the Black Academic Success and Engagement; hospitality, recreation, and tourism; the Aboriginal Resource Centre, international public relations, and more. Danica will discuss experimenting with language, intentional outreach, finding connections in exhibitions, advance conversations with professors, and relationship-building with campus resource centres in order to build this outreach and education program, as well as the reciprocal connections it supported.</div>

<b><a href="http://danicaevering.com/">Danica Evering</a></b> was born in Cobourg and lives in Hamilton. Through writing, organizing, and sound composition, she reaches out intentionally, negotiates power structures, and suggests possibilities. Danica's experience with responsive education and experimental projects fosters unexpected connections between people and ideas. Her SSHRC-supported MA in Media Studies from Concordia questions power dynamics and insider/outsider relationships in social practice through interviews with artists and creative analysis of her own field work. </div>

Danica's knowledge of education and community-building comes from her work as the Program Coordinator at Musagetes (a socially engaged arts organization); as a founding member of the editorial collective of Publication Studio Guelph (a sibling studio of an international publishing network that attends to the social lives of books); her participation in the creation and development of the Benčić Youth Council (a radical arts education program for youth in Rijeka); and as the Education Officer and Acting Curator at the former Humber Galleries. </div>

It was my first time, and I thought it might be useful to put together a few first-timer tips based on my experience. </i><br />
<br />
<h3>
1. Pace yourself </h3>
It’s a big and fantastic conference! The actual conference-proper was Thursday-Saturday, but Wednesday had workshops and Tuesday a wonderful field trip to the museums at Harvard. This is a lot! It can easily be overwhelming, so check out point #2 below.<br />
<br />
<h3>
2. Go with a plan </h3>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbkaLLx5bWeKCtnpUJwn1OdtMIto2hdsyAIXpHSyxPsSFn-16Zcg9crpj4eEDUZzLHf-BZJDamSpcWrcjq2DHYaTtoDk6yGHhv_Iv8NqqPTZ5iQ_5gcMyfuLeQPYAXByiQHhtSGTYyAU/s1600/9.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbkaLLx5bWeKCtnpUJwn1OdtMIto2hdsyAIXpHSyxPsSFn-16Zcg9crpj4eEDUZzLHf-BZJDamSpcWrcjq2DHYaTtoDk6yGHhv_Iv8NqqPTZ5iQ_5gcMyfuLeQPYAXByiQHhtSGTYyAU/s320/9.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Antiquities at the Harvard <a href="https://semiticmuseum.fas.harvard.edu/">Semitic Museum</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
There are lectures, papers presented, workshops, lightning talks, exhibitions, demonstrations…. So much to do and see! Checking out the schedule ahead of time (posted on the Museums and the Web website) will really help you decide what your ultimate goals are. Many papers presented were from folks in the middle of the pilot projects at their intuition. Some were from MA and PhD students, presenting their theses. Others were very step-by-step practical guides, and some were very frank with challenges, failures, successes, and tips.<br />
<br />
<h3>
3. See the sights </h3>
Museums and the Web moves around to a different location each year; 2018 was Vancouver, 2017 was Cleveland, and this year was Boston. The city has so many cultural institutions to visit, not all of which are included in your conference schedule, but which may offer very valuable learning opportunities. Hot tip: really make sure you read through all the perks included in your registration. Too late I found out that the Isabella Stewart Gardner admission was included with my conference badge (though I ultimately don’t mind giving them my admission fee. It’s an amazing place!)<br />
<br />
<h3>
4. Do the tour</h3>
As this was my first Museums and the Web I’m not sure if they have a field trip every year, but if they do, I’d say consider going! There was a cap of 30 people for the trip, so make sure you sign up early if you’re interested. This year we visited several museums at Harvard, each of which offered incredible demonstrations of educational approaches and programming that they’re doing.<br />
<h3>
<br />5. Divide and conquer </h3>
There is nearly endless sessions to attend; in many instances there are several happening at once, so you need to make a choice. If you can swing it, go with a colleague (or make friends with someone and share notes!) That was you can “attend” multiple sessions, all without the help of Hermione’s time-turner.<br />

Helpful details are shared; you might even catch a glimpse of yourself on the feed! Because there’s so much happening this is an option to keep you dialed in.<br />
<br />
<h3>
7. Consider sessions that aren’t directly related to your area </h3>
It’s awfully hard to choose what sessions to attend; sometimes they sound incredibly connected to what you do, and others sound like they’re not! But this is a suggestion to go to those left-field-sounding sessions. Frankly, sessions that are directly related to what you do might just duplicate info you already know, whereas you may get some incredible gems in the most unexpected places.HMEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14560233375869820361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128846679467749467.post-57721276794726685462019-02-12T08:09:00.001-08:002019-02-12T08:09:52.237-08:00HME Meeting tonight RESCHEDULEDHME Meeting tonight RESCHEDULED due to inclement weather<br />

<br />
We will meet at <b><a href="https://culture.mississauga.ca/venu/benares-historic-house">Benares Historic House</a></b> (1507 Clarkson Rd N, Mississauga, ON L5J 2W8) for 4:30, where we will receive a tour by colleagues from Museums of Mississauga.<br />
<br />
Behind-the-scenes tours have been very popular HME events; you can network with colleagues, ask and see how fellow HME members work in their own institutions, and engage with new ideas in a novel setting.<br />
<br />
Following our tour, we'll head over to <b>Capra's Kitchen</b> (1834 Lakeshore Rd W, Mississauga, ON L5J 1J7) for dinner and our annual planning meeting! The drive from Benares to the restaurant is about 3 minutes.<br />
<br />
Year end meetings are important, because it's where the upcoming schedule of HME is planned.<br />
Can't make it, or missed out on your spot? Please email one of your HME coordinators to have your suggestions/ideas heard, and inform the upcoming HME year of 2018-2019!<br />
<br />
NOTE: The tour will be FREE, but dinner is at the cost of the attendee.<br />

<br />
On April 12, HME coordinators Luke Stempien and Teresa Gregorio presented at the Halton Region Heritage Exchange in Acton. Attendees learned about what we do at HME, and were invited to join our group.<br />
<br />
This is the second annual Halton Heritage Exchange, and is a great place to meet, network, and learn more from colleagues in the heritage field.<br />
<br />
Presentations were diverse, including volunteer-run local history museums to a representative from the OMA.<br />
<br />

<br />
We enjoyed a wonderful talk with Education Coordinator Jocelyn McKeown who introduced us to the variety of educational programs and events at the Gallery. We also got a sneak peek into their wonderfully stocked studio space! Thank you Jocelyn!<br />
<br />
Following this, we had a fantastic tour with one of the AGH's talented volunteer docents, Hano. He showed us around several of the exhibitions, and gave us information on what it's like as a highly-trained and skilled docent at the AGH. Thank you Hano!<br />
<br />
<b>Below are some images and notes from this great tour.</b> Thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen, and to all our HME members who attended!<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is the biggest take away you will return to your institutions with from this conference?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are lots of tools available for no or low cost. Time is the biggest issue.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So many tech tools!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using tech to translate mandate</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just hearing about what other museums/orgs are up to</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The resources to learn about the use of social media – tools for engaging the public at a distance + immediately digitally</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reaching beyond museum walls…</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are opportunities to engage the community with social media. There are many free apps that we could use to improve our practice and increase our productivity!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Really enjoyed Ryan Dodge’s digital visitors are visitors too. Going to bring the social media strategy back to my team</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Networking – we all have the same problems so it’s great to share solutions</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The supportive network of educators in the area + the knowledge they’re willing to share</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Social media and education strategy. Use distance education to solve problem of declining school tours due to lack of bussing and reaching seniors.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New resources to access and try out connections</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many new technologies to explore and many that will easily integrate into existing online pages. New opportunities for the future – especially off site “field trips”</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New ways to think about digital visitors and new digital tools.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are not alone – unbelievable number of digital online and social media resources</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I enjoyed learning about the different platforms that I could use both professionally and personally</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Open source platforms for education/connecting/planning. Ways of being active on social media without permission.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a lot of amazing things that museums can do. Just needs some out of the box thinking</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The content checklist and effective ways to communicate collections to online visitors</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A lot of free technical tools</span></li>
</ul>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nope, was great!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No, I would say the short presentation q + a approach is good – perhaps a chance to do both workshops instead of just one</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No, it was well done</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not really! It was so well done! Kudos to the organizers! Fantastic job!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Would enjoy more digital content – social media specific topics</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nope – loved it!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ask a question/questions ahead of time to help inspire attendees even before they conference</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">None. It’s awesome</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More discussion time, and perhaps prepared discussion questions</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">MORE!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leave 10 minutes for set up for video conferences</span></li>

Currently, I am also a member of the Virtual Museum of Canada, the Museum Computer Network's part-time Digital Content and Community Manager and a consultant with Cultural & Heritage organizations across North America.<br />

<b>Dr. Amy Hetherington </b><br />
<b>101 Ways to Do It Right (and 1001 ways to do it wrong)</b><br />
<i>Technology can be a huge boon for heritage sites, but it can also be fraught with problems. Considering the expenditure and resources, museums and galleries can’t really afford to get it wrong. But what are the right ways (and what are the pitfalls to avoid)? How can your small institution implement new technologies to engage your visitors in an entertaining, but more importantly – educational – way? This presentation will focus on smaller institutions that often struggle the most with this issue, and show some of the ways digital can be adapted to support educational programming.</i><br />

<br />
Digital Tools for Museum Education<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Many of our group members work for municipalities and as such, we have certain restrictions on our use of digital tools, notably social media</li>
<li>Few of us have large/any budget for social media, with most digital tools having to go through municipal IT departments</li>
<li>Other challenges include lack of buy in from management (often at the municipal, rather than institutional level), issues with wifi and even cell service in remote and rural locations, ‘corporate restraint’, IT budgets, hardware/software challenges</li>
<li>Social media solutions: if you have little or no control over your own social media, partnerships can be a good solution, as event or program partners can leverage their social media for promotion. Examples include the craft show at Steam Museum and Doors Open in Halton Region. Balls Falls has partnered with Bird Studies Canada, Invasive Species to expand their digital footprint.</li>
<li>Use of video – Steam Museum’s museum dance off entry was very successful, had educational content. </li>
<li>Social media is necessary to do what we do (visitor engagement!) – ask visitors, especially teachers, to tweet their visit, tag the site, city accounts free advertising, plus brings organization’s attention to the public using and interacting on social media.</li>
<li>Using social media as a program component – literacy element</li>
<li>Ruthven created a social media scavenger hunt for their Family Day programming</li>
<li>Can be helpful to establish a # for your events/exhibits</li>
<li>Collecting data (Google analytics) is valuable to make the case for change<br /></li>
<li>Digital tools and resources for museum education, in addition to social media platforms:</li>
<li>izi.travel – free app to create walking tours</li>
<li>History Pin </li>
<li>Geocaching – option for a digital and physical presence</li>
<li>Google Drive – popular with teachers, useful for interfacing and sharing resources with educators</li>
<li>Google Cultural Institute</li>
<li>American Association of Children’s Museums offers several low-cost webinars related to using digital resources [also American Alliance of Museums]</li>
<li>AAM Trendswatch Reports – ‘Museum 2040’ publication available free for download</li>
<li>Podcasts</li>
<li>Virtual Museum of Canada</li>
<li>Wikipedia – ensure your entry is up to date, edit/add to pages on local history topics</li>
<li>Virtual Reality – Museum of Ontario Archaeology example</li>
<li>Digital mapping – Google maps, Google Fusion Tables</li>
<li>Trinio – 3D photography</li>
<li>Meta VR Canada</li>
<li>British Museum Samsung Digital Discovery Centre</li>
<li>Smithsonian Learning Lab</li>

<i><br /></i>
Presenters include:<br />
<b>Ryan Dodge </b>(ROM's Digital Engagement Coordinator)<br />
<b>"Digital Visitors are Visitors Too"</b><br />
How digital engagement impacts your museum's bottom line<br />
<br />
<b>Julie Sutton-Yardley </b>(Heritage Network Coordinator for Halton Region - Heritage Services) <b>and</b><br />
<b>Meredith Leonard </b>(Education and Community Coordinator at Halton Heritage Services)<br />
<b>“Getting Technical with Topical Challenges”</b><br />
Technology offers incredible opportunities for museums, but also poses substantial challenges. Work through some of the challenges at your institution with Halton Heritage Services staff in an “un-conference” session inspired by the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History’s Museum Camp!<br />
<br />
<b>Dr Amy Hetherington </b><br />
<b>"101 Ways to Do It Right (and 1001 ways to do it wrong)"</b><br />
Technology can be a huge boon for heritage sites, but it can also be fraught with problems. Considering the expenditure and resources, museums and galleries can’t really afford to get it wrong. But what are the right ways (and what are the pitfalls to avoid)? How can your small institution implement new technologies to engage your visitors in an entertaining, but more importantly – educational – way? This presentation will focus on smaller institutions that often struggle the most with this issue, and show some of the ways digital can be adapted to support educational programming.<br />
<br />
<b>Teresa Gregorio</b> (Education Officer, McMaster Museum of Art)<br /><b>"Social Media: Why channeling Miss Frizzle makes lighthearted+fun education"</b><br />
A case study in choosing and using the strengths of different social media apps to create a fun and interactive exhibition-related program that supports the Museum's mission, vision, and strategic plan.<br />

<b>QUESTION</b>: What value do you get from belonging to a professional association?<br />
<b>QUESTION</b>: Does anyone just become a member because they want to support or find an organization interesting? What about the benefit of thinking you are supporting something?<br />
<b>QUESTION</b>: Are there any non-museum conferences or courses? (Libraries?
