Busy day Web 2.0, walk and crit

A busy day -had a very good session at UCL with a talk by Mark Carmall of the Grant museum looking at some of the implications of web 2.0. I think Mark is correct to point out that most museum web projects are pointing at an audience already won and not at new audience. Is he right though to believe hat maybe not yet the time for Museums to target world of warcraft and second life type of audiences?

Then to OOT to give talk on the operating theatre and walk on public health to norwich school. Finally to CSM for Living History Crit with Katharine from the BM projects progressing but aware of the difficulty of first time workshops for kids by students.

Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow
