[|Exit Survey] media type="custom" key="6520263" align="right" Thursday Night Out[|County Clare Inn][|1234 N Astor St] The Milwaukee Digital Media Conference is a unique hands-on collaborative conference. This year's conference is being held at the [|Milwaukee Art Museum].

Participants are busy working all week on creating collaborative projects about an art piece at the museum as well as interviewing staff behind-the-scenes on what it's like to work at the museum. You can follow the projects they are putting together on our project wiki at @http://mdmc2011projects.wikispaces.com

As an addition to this year's conference, instructors will be presenting short "Mind Matters" sessions covering the 6 attributes for right-brain thinking referred to in Daniel Pink's book, "A Whole New Mind." Participants will be writing short reflections on how these attributes can be applied in the classroom. **While reading this book is not required for the conference, it is highly recommended as participants will get more out of the sessions if they are familiar with the text.**

Participants work with instructors from The Stephens Group and staff from the art museum to utilize 21st century skills in order to create relevant real-world products. The following highlights what the participant can expect at MDMC:





Participants can receive two graduate credits from Viterbo for $180. All coursework is embedded in the conference activities.

Non-ide@s scholars pay a $125 registration fee and $90 graduate credit fee. This course will be held **Aug 1st - 28th.** Tuition for credits will be collected at the conference.
