Presentation 2: Social Mobile in Museums: It's not just about adding 'share' button to your audioguide Visitors are using their smartphones in our museums everyday, to tweet, text and take photographs. How can we hi-jack some of this existing behaviour to increase engagement and facilitate learning not only for our visitors but for ourselves? In this session, we'll explore how social applications, such as facebook and twitter, can offer museums a cost effective, quick and simple way to experiment with smartphone technology and apps and move us to a more strategic approach. Speaker 2: Lindsey Green works with cultural heritage organisations, helping them to use mobile's capacity to deepen engagement through learning and play. In doing so, she has worked with some of the most innovative cultural organisations to deliver some of their most innovative projects, leading projects for Tate, English Heritage, the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum of Utah and National Palace Museum, Taipei.
