Abstract
Information communication technologies
are having a profound impact on the kinds
of programs museums offer for viewers
in the wider community as well as for
school students. Increasingly, museums
allocate considerable resources to the
development of programs designed for
student learning in SaSE as well as other
learning areas. The programs are diverse
and vary in quality. This paper examines
a small selection of museum websites in
light of their value for children's and young
people's learning. The authors suggest
that designing useful websites with value
as catalysts for deep thinking about social
issues involves more than technical (ICT)
expertise. They suggest that websites could
be enhanced through a strong pedagogical
orientation. There would appear to be a
case for the development of sites by multidisciplinary
teams as well as ongoing
communication between the museum and
school sectors - not excluding the voices of
students themselves.
