Without any further prompts or research, write down your own definition of a museum. Post it in this Padlet and compare your definition with that of others.
According to me museum is marvelous place where every objects tell us a lot of the past, present and the future so the museum teach us to respect the material sources, because they are heritage of humanity. 
We have to give this awareness to our pupils.

This is an interesting opportunity to learn how involve the children learning in a museum. In my free time I am an artist, so I like the art museum a lot. I thought to do a lab for playing children with the masterpieces to discover the art enjoying themselves. I think this course is great and it will help him to let know how to do, but my idea is that children can play with the masterpieces so they are involved and they can tell a fantastic story that born from the masterpieces of the great painter. maria_sallemi5870 https://padlet.com/maria_sallemi5870/65mhfqcj1d6f/wish/243941851 I give an authentic work to follow like this: And if one day Giuditta and Holofernes of Caravaggio, Holofernes would wake up from death thanks to Michelangelo's Last Judgment, to get lost in the enchanted forest where Botticelli's beautiful Spring lives, but beware, Medusa lurking and asking for help from the Putto with book by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo ...?
Composition of a fantastic story thanks to the characters, the environments, the details, the beautiful images observed with "Uffizi Virtual Experience".
Our magic story, elaborated on the computer with children, will become an ebook to be shared via email or social networks. So the children with the app "uffizi touch" observed the masterpieces that are mentioned in the authentic work and then themselves with the guide- questions  wrote a fantastic story.
In this way they are involved and are active.

The museum becomes interesting for the pupils if they are involved in a lab.]]> 2018-03-20 11:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_sallemi5870/65mhfqcj1d6f/wish/243945246 MODULE 1. maria_sallemi5870 https://padlet.com/maria_sallemi5870/65mhfqcj1d6f/wish/243946787 1.3 Museums as constructors of knowledge
In this section, we look at museum exhibits and how they have changed from fairly passive and static forms of media, such as text and images, to much more interactive forms of media, allowing for a more active process of knowledge creation than before.

WHAT IS CONSTRUCTIVISM? Constructivism is basically a theory -- based on observation and scientific study -- about how people learn. It says that people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world, through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. When we encounter something new, we have to reconcile it with our previous ideas and experience, maybe changing what we believe, or maybe discarding the new information as irrelevant. In any case, we are active creators of our own knowledge. To do this, we must ask questions, explore, and assess what we know. 
In the classroom, the constructivist view of learning can point towards a number of different teaching practices. In the most general sense, it usually means encouraging students to use active techniques (experiments, real-world problem solving) to create more knowledge and then to reflect on and talk about what they are doing and how their understanding is changing. The teacher makes sure she understands the students' preexisting conceptions, and guides the activity to address them and then build on them.
