From the Editor

At long last, we are delighted to bring Network back to your screen. We plan to produce Network more frequently and regularly, although its structure, format, and interactivity may evolve over time. MER board members, like museum educators everywhere, are grappling with issues of technology and communication.

Please weigh in! What kinds of articles, conversations, news, and communications would be most useful to you? The Board recently voted to restrict “publication” in Network to MER members, but will make the newsletter available to a broader audience through our website. What better way to experiment with the possibilities of the Web 2.0 than with the safety and comfort of colleagues? Play with us!
