		<description><![CDATA[I recently presented for a group of museum educators at a national history conference. The presentation was focused around best practices in education and how to engage student audiences. The main take-away? NOT with a &#8220;I&#8217;m standing up, you&#8217;re sitting down&#8221; presentation!
