How can educators use the Royal BC Museum’s Learning Portal?

Pathways provide a rich array of multimodal learning resources that are compiled by museum staff and other partners. These would be useful for unit planning, and could be used as a starting point for student inquiry. They can be linked to playlists, too. As an example, let's explore the BC's Gold Rush pathway.

The Learning Portal is a great way for educators to share their inquiries with other educators, students, and community members. What an opportunity to model lifelong learning! A great example is Brad Cunningham's Indigenous Principles and the Classroom playlist. I am working on playlists about science and policy, and species at risk.

The Learning Portal can be used to collaborate with museum staff, community members, and other learners by sharing ideas and resources via playlists. Classes could collaborate to create playlists, too. Students could access these later, and know that they have created something that can be used by other learners - how empowering!

This is a reflection on my inquiry project.

This is the feedback that I received from my colleagues and instructor about the presentation that I delivered in class.
