John F. Kennedy University
Presented: October 24, 2007 at JFK University in Berkeley, CA
Presented to a group of students studying technology in museums, this talk focused on "Web 2.0", technologies behind it, how it came about and included some example websites. In addition, I addressed how SJMA has been incorporating some of these technologies and looking at them in terms of an interactive permanent collection online. Finally, I ended talking about the process that goes into making one of our podcast series, "Artist of the Week". The group was bright and very tech savy which made for great Q and A throughout the entire talk.

Museums and the Web 2007 Presentation
Presented: April 10, 2007 at the San Jose Museum of Art
The San Jose Museum of Art was fortunate enough to host a group of 25 Museum and the Web attendees, from all over the world, on their field trip down from SF to three South Bay museums. I addressed several key tech initiatives that the museum has been pursuing and at the end my department fielded questions from the group. Unfortunately I did not make an audio recording of the presentation. Lots of great and interesting people attended! Thanks to everyone!

Docent Technology Presentation
Presented: October 9, 2006 at the San Jose Museum of Art
This is a presentation that I made at the San Jose Museum of Art that discusses all the technological uses at the museum with a few future possibilities thrown in for good measure. It was an enjoyable presentation with a lot of great questions. Some of the questions from the audience are a little difficult to hear.
