Sign up to our website to interact, contribute and share. You can tell us what you think, join discussions, subscribe to e-newsletters, ask an expert or gather, organise and share resources with students and other teachers.

After signing up you will be able to access My Museum.  You can then set up your profile, see lists of all your comments and tags, as well as any pages you have made favourites. You can also create sets of your favourite pages which you can then send to students and other teachers.

Comments

When you have signed up you can make comments on most pages of the Australian Museum website. You can join discussions, ask questions and upload images, movies and audio files. Whenever you make a comment or someone responds it will be recorded on your Comments tab in My Museum.

Tags

You can tag pages of the Australian Museum website. When you add a tag to a page it will be recorded on your Tags tab in My Museum. Tagging is a great way of collecting information you are interested in under a common label. You can share these tags with students and other teachers so they can also access this information.

Favourites

You can collect your favourite pages of the Australian Museum website. When you gather a favourite it will be listed on your Favourites tab in My Museum. You can easily access these later and share them with students or colleagues.

Sets

You can organise your favourites in to Sets (groups) related to a particular topic of study e.g. Australian megafauna or fossils. You can name your set, add notes to it and share it with students or colleagues.

Expert

You could apply or may be invited by the Museum to be an 'Expert' in an area where you have a particular skill, knowledge or experience. When commenting, you will be publicly acknowledged by the Australian Museum as an 'Expert'.
