21st Century Museum Learning

The Walter and Leonore Annenberg Presidential Learning Center at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation aims to develop proactive informed, educated, and conscientious citizens and leaders. In this video, developed for a presentation at the 2012 American Association of Museums Annual Meeting, Education Manager Janet Tran and students and teachers from Duarte High School describe the use of social media as a tool to foster civic engagement. As instructional time devoted to civics and history has declined, the need for museums and other non-profits to provide these sorts of opportunities has increased dramatically. #aam2012 #APLC #civics #21stME
