    Hi Sarah,

    Great idea to launch this repository.
    I started to fill it out, but quickly realized that the list of audiences does not include adults.  Would you consider expanding your list to include programs for adults, older adults and people with disabilities?

    Hi Carolyn,

     

    Thanks for writing. I thought I had added a category for Adult / College (we're trying to keep the number of categories down), but it looks like I hadn't actually added it to the Google Form. That's done now. Thanks for the prompt.

     

    There is a separate category for indicating that the programs are appropriate for those with mild to moderate special needs. I know your great work, and that may not satisfy your needs, so if you have another suggestion, please let me know. Here's what it looks like right now:

     

     

    Happy to talk more about how we can help make this work for your audiences. Our original goal was that it served teachers and caretakers of young people, but if there are simple ways that we can adapt it for broader use, I'd love to make that happen.

     

    Very best,

     

    Sarah

    Hi Sarah, thanks so much for doing this! In the similar spirit of sharing lists, I wanted to pass along the links below (long form and short form - they are the same content):

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DnmI_PzIr714EG69DoEkTHpKUZjQuWYS0u9-KkG8VZc/edit?usp=sharing

    OR
    https://bit.ly/2US6S4Q for a list of "Museum From Home" opportunities that one of our museum studies students, Hannah Riley, has been compiling to help everyone who might be looking for digital diversions and/or to help structure some at home learning for little ones. The museums are listed along with their type of museum and content. Some include Education Curriculum.

    Everyone is welcome to add content and to share with the links above broadly.
    Happy browsing!
