Digital Technologies and the Museum Experience: Handheld Guides and Other Media

I recently started reading a book that was edited by handheld guide expert Loïc Tallon and fellow Londoner Kevin Walker.  The book is a collection of essays by prominent technologists in the museum space writing about mobile guides in museums.  The range of information is extensive ranging from best practices to research in the field.  The book is highly recommended to those with an interest in this area of digital museum interpretation.

Grown Up Digital

I’m really enjoying this book!  Don Tapscott provides great insight into how the first generation of completely tech saturated kids are coming of age.  He discusses how they are changing the way we work, engage with one another, and communicate.
