Hello all,
MESC (Museum Educators of Southern California) has registered the domain name
museum-ed.org
We chose to register this name because we wanted a more generic, less
regional name for our web site. Because our information will be of
interest to educators everywhere, we decided that we wanted to create a
site that would serve the larger community, so we plan to open up the use
of the name to all museum educators.
If you are a part of a museum educator's group, please send me information
about your group. We will place that information on the web site. If you
have your own web site, please provide me with the url. We will provide
links to your site. If you do not have a web site, we will work with you
to help you set up a site and maybe even host the page for you.
We will also provide information about and links to any museum listservs
(such as this one).
We have not finalized any plans, so please tell us what you think!
What we're currently thinking:
www.museum-ed.org
This url will lead to a general museum education site. From here, folks
will be able to access information on regional museum education sites and
organizations. With time, we hope to develop some unique content for this
area. We also hope to strengthen ties with other national and
international organizations.
www.museum-ed.org/mesc
This url will lead to information specifically about MESC. We plan to
provide a standardized page of information about the organization and links
to the main web site.
www.museum-ed.org/yourname
This kind of url will lead to information about other museum educator groups.
Because MESC is involved in the new CaliforniaCulture.Net initiative, our
initial focus will be on California. (However, I will add information
about any regional organization). I hope to "farm out" management of other
regions to other individuals and organizations.
