This collection includes digital museum resources and replicable activities that will serve as a springboard for discussion during the Ethnic Studies Exploration: Resources and Strategies workshop, held online with the City of Austin Parks & Recreation Department (includes the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center, the Asian American Resource Center, and the George Washington Carver Museum), Texas State University,  Academia Cuauhtli, and the Smithsonian Office of Educational Technology on March 27 and April 17, 2021. The collection models how digital museum resources can be leveraged to support critical thinking and deeper learning for high school Ethnic Studies curricula. The collection can be copied and adapted for use in your own classroom. 

For an archived collection of recordings from these training sessions, please see this Learning Lab collection from the City of Austin Parks and Recreation: Ethnic Studies Exploration: Resources and Strategies.
