Research shows that self-directed exploration is an important part of a child’s learning development, and as anyone with a child in their life knows, kids love playing in nature! Digital Discovery Room provides families the opportunity to turn outside playtime into learning time, through the use of modern tools such as digital cameras and the Web. Posting their nature photos and observations to the online Digital Discovery Room forum opens up an interaction with museum experts and science educators that allows families to foster their child’s crucial relationship with the environment.
