Rebecca Mir Educator New York Historical Society

Rebecca

I work at the Voelker Orth Museum as their School and Community Programs Developer and as an Educator and Floor Manager at the New-York Historical Society\'s DiMenna Children\'s History Museum. I am a contributing author to Play the Past where I write about how (and why) artifacts and cultures are (mis)represented in video games, and how museums use games to engage and educate audiences. I earned a B.A. in Art History from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and an M.A. in Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture from Bard Graduate Center. I\'m dedicated to using digital and social media for educational good, and can be found on Twitter as @mirseum.

I was the NYCMER Intern in 2011-2012, and I currently serve as NYCMER\'s Web Resources and Social Media Coordinator!

For more information about the digital media projects I\'ve worked on, connect with me on LinkedIn.

Since 1979, NYCMER has provided a forum for museum education professionals to address issues of museum and educational interest, exchange and disseminate relevant information and to explore and implement cooperative programming opportunities through roundtable discussions, workshops, and an annual conference.
