Hello everyone from North Italy!
I live in Lombardy and am a teacher of Art History in an artistic high school called here in Italy "Liceo Artistico".
I often use my alias CineMelotti , namely my YouTube didactic canal which has the same name of my school (dedicated to Fausto Melotti) also linked to my personal website
(click on highlighted words).

My main learning objectives are to have more practical tools and ideas to improve my lessons. Always open to new methods, I would like to improve this pedagogical approach in my classroom also because I wish to implement my way to teach in order to have better, interesting and motivating lessons.

Let's start the journey!

# data[].attributes.body
What I do in this first module:

explore the definition of a museum

reflect on the concept of museums as social learning spaces

reflect on the concept of museums as constructivist learning spaces

start planning for a museum learning experience

# data[].attributes.body
Create a museum learning experience

As the final course activity, you will be asked to prepare a lesson plan incorporating museum learning. The lesson plan could focus on before, during, or after a museum visit, or incorporate museum learning through a project.

Activity > >

Start reflecting on what you want to focus on in this lesson. Then create a worksheet or similar lesson resource (e.g. an online quiz, annotated map, etc.) which you could use in your lesson. Post your worksheet or similar lesson resource together with a short description in the forum thread. Browse through the work of your peers and provide feedback by commenting on one of them.

I conceived a teaching activity at the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan as part of a larger project that focuses on "Historical Museum Houses" in order to point out the finest collectors in Milan in the 19th-century;  so not only to understand the taste but also the spirit of an era.
