Three new posts up on the Alliance blog last week, take a look!

1. Spotlight on this year's EdCom award winner for Innovation in Museum Education; the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Arkansas hosted members of its community from the Marshall Islands to carve a traditional canoe on the grounds and educate visitors about the culture in the process. https://www.aam-us.org/2019/07/22/2019-award-winner-for-innovation-in-museum-education-wa-kuk-wa-jimor-canoe-of-one-community/
2. A researcher and a museum educator write about how the tools of a study on museum education can help improve gallery tours. https://www.aam-us.org/2019/07/24/taking-a-museum-education-study-from-research-to-practice/
3. Ken Gorbey, a museum consultant from New Zealand, writes about how creative aging fits into his vision of the community-embedded museum of the future. https://www.aam-us.org/2019/07/26/we-the-aged-are-an-integral-part-of-the-community/
