Museum Box- 2.0 application

 I chose Museum Box as my Web 2.0 application. This is a fantastic site that offers students the chance to create their own virtual museum box on any topic, person, or historical date they wish to present. I think this would be so wonderful for any age of students, it even looks fun for our class! =) It's very easy to get around on the site, very user friendly program for any age. I uploaded my video to screencast.com ..I hope you enjoy it!

I discovered three other sites that were amazing for classrooms! The first I found was called BusyTeacher and I love it because it has a ton of great resources for busy teachers! The second app was smart.fm... it offers a schedule for learners with a busy schedule and works around their needs. The third app I also really enjoyed is correctmytext.com and it basically fixes your grammar problems if you speak another language or if you just struggle with your English.

    Awesome tool!! Can you imagine what show and tell could be like. I am currently having my kids read a biography book. I could see them using Museum Box to create some really neat visuals!

    This is a really great site! What a great way to present reports without writing a "report". I want to create my own museum box now! Thanks for sharing; I will be using this in my classroom!
