Learning with education staff from National Gallery of Victoria
Wisteria from Marriners Museum, Virginia USA –”Life at Sea”
What Students Liked
Much better learning from someone like Wisteria than a textbook How she showed the actual objects All of it was really good – Wysteria was a really good presenter, asked
questions and got everyone involved. Different time zone and it was interesting to know that she was in my
yesterday and there was a night time concert outside while she spoke to us.
Lady pirate Chin commanded 500 pirate ships, made me interested in old history
Liked how she was actually at the museum, and showed us the actual objects from the ship
To see the things they used – photos and objects
