Museum Box

Museum Box

Museum Box allows you to create these interactive, three dimensional boxes on a topic of your choice.  These little boxes are like time capsules that allow users to interact with a number of artifacts that pertain to the box.  Users can add graphics, sound, and video to their boxes. 

Museum box seems like a great tool for students of history.  Museum box can be used to keep family tree records or record one's lineage.  Upon further investigation of this website, it seems that people who wish to learn more about history or artifacts come here to learn.  Teachers and educators can use this to create boxes on content and then have students use these boxes as a resource for projects or assignments.

Museum Box was created in 2008 by the East of England Broadband Network.

I have already begun to think about ways to incorporate Museum Box into my classroom.  This has been the coolest thing I've seen on this assignment.  I would love to use it for our biography unit.  I can see using this to create book reports or literally book boxes over independent novel studies.  This can be used on a personal level to keep track of family heritage.
