Workshop Videos

This spring, MIDEA hosted the workshop "iPads in the Museum" in San Antonio, Texas. Museum professionals from all over the country gathered to learn and discuss strategies for enhancing their digital exhibits, docent tours, and special programs with the blockbuster tablet that is the Apple iPad.

In case you missed it, we've archived recordings of the keynotes and panel discussions. For those of you who were there, these videos will be a good refresher and a helpful way to share what you learned with your colleagues. From best practices in HTML5 to embracing your "frabjous" (thank you, Holly Witchey!) -- we've got you covered.

First, a summary of the workshop:
