Thanks to the creativity and persistence of volunteer Denise Steedman, MOTAL now has a fascinating, highly professional, set of historical perspectives to share with the public on the MOTAL- The Museum of Teaching and Learning YouTube channel. Denise (“Dee”) could not have done this alone, she had the full support of the MOTAL board, her team members, Eva Postma, Mark Noble, and Steve Pliska. The museum will save these recordings for posterity as testimony to how educators and families have dealt with the changes and challenges during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic.
