One of the most rewarding parts of my role is taking students from 'Managing Post-Crisis Through Action Research' to the @ccwm_sydney museum. They explore #leadership, #ActionResearch and turn theory into real-world insights.
So grateful for @Sydney_Uni's #ObjectBasedLearning!

Did something new with my @romtoronto #museumed students today. I put a piece of paper in the middle of the table, between the #objectbasedlearning to encourage all students to contribute rather than one controlling the writing - it worked so well!

The first #Objectbasedlearning class at the #FryerLibrary for the semester kicked off last week, with the “From Daguerreotype to Instagram” history of photography class. 📷 Students gave a collective gasp of awe when an Ambrotype was held up to the light...

#FryerLibrary hosted over 80 high school history students on Friday. They enjoyed #HandsOnHistory & #ObjectBasedLearning - involving a memorial medal, 18th century rare books & a Convict story, inspired by his original Ticket of Leave document in the collection. @UQ_History
