Clark, Joella G.
1998 Public Education Committee: Should Kids Dig?. SAA Bulletin, 16(5): 9-11, Society for American Archaeology
In this article, Clark describes the process of designing a long-term archaeology course for upper elementary and middle school classrooms. Clark began by constructing a course that fit into the curriculum and met the state science standards. Clark explains the intention of the course to teach archaeological research methods, cultural context, and preservation of cultural resources. She held a two-day workshop to train educators in the basics of archaeology that they could teach, while Clark was in charge of overseeing the field work. Clark provides an eight-part outline for educators who want to recreate this type of project. The important point of this article is that archaeologists and educators should work together to develop programs that follow the law, meet state standards, and provide a valuable learning experience.

Watrall, Ethan
2017 Public Heritage at Scale: Building Tools for Authoring Mobile Digital Heritage and Archaeology Experiences. Journal of Community Archaeology & Heritage, 1-14, Taylor & Francis, Ltd.
The article introduces mobile technology and augmented reality to the heritage and archaeology education community as a new form of public engagement. Although there are still issues to work out with the application of augmented reality, such as high cost, sustainability, the inability to have information on the background research of the site, and multiple interpretations. The article presents "mibria," a mobile heritage authoring platform from Michigan State University as a response addressing the issues in mobile technology for heritage education.
