2020 #VWEDU: Presentation in a box: Ethnographic Cultural Exhibits. In a digital world you can handle big boxes

Presentation in a box: 
Ethnographic Cultural Exhibits.  
In a digital world you can handle big boxes 

A presentation in a virtual world does not mean that you have to show slides and talk about them.  That method is so last century.  You can put your slides on the wall as posters. You can show videos.  You can link to other sources.  The main problem you will have is managing all that potential.

• The Guna people

• Lectures do not have to be a long string of ideas presented over an hour.
• They can be short clips presenting one idea at a time.  
• Museums have done it this way for years.
• Museums on your lap. Going places in your laptop. An online presence extends the reach of a museum and gives new meaning to the idea of a field trip.
