They may change the sequence and nature of their visit to match personal preferences and learning styles. Visit a traditional art museum and you must see the paintings as they are hung, side by side with neighboring paintings which have been selected by the museum. In a virtual museum, you may change the paintings around so that you can view all of the Mary Cassatts together or can pair Georgia O'Keefe's paintings with her husband, George Steiglitz's photographs, a rare but occasional possibility in the physical museum world. School Partnership Museums in the Classroom is a Learning Technology Initiative of the Illinois State Board of Education. Students from the classrooms visit the museums to image objects from the museums collections and to work with museum personnel.
Students are also video-conferencing with museum personnel from their classrooms.
