Webinars for Educators by Metropolitan Museum of Art
Posted on 11/13/09
The Metropolitan Museum of Art offers “Webinars for
Educators”: a way for teachers to explore works of art and
museum resources though their computers by interacting
though online discussion and activities with Museum Staff.
We offer live 75-minute sessions that include a range of
activities that teachers can adapt to fit the needs of
their students. All teachers received digital classroom
resource materials, a recording of the session, and a
certificate verifying their participation. Please visit our
website or email teachers@metmuseum.org to register.
Upcoming Webinars for Educators include:

collection.
