My classmate Cody introduced to our class was Museum Box which can be found at http://museumbox.e2bn.org/. At Museum Box you can create or look up pre-made virtual boxes that help describe an event or person. For example you can make a box that is made up of items that describe the life of Abraham Lincoln or Thomas Jefferson. Each box consists of eight different cubes and in each cube you can insert text, pictures and videos. There are six different sections in each cube so you can fit a good amount of information in each box. When creating your own box you can label each cube and embed pictures and videos to help teach your future students.
Next, Dashaya showed us the tool Go! Animate at http://goanimate.com/. At Go! Animate you can create your own animated videos. You can also find videos everything from political issues to pirates. This could be used in classrooms as a unique way to learn required curriculum. You could create a video of life during the civil war or even a video about math equations. I think that this item could really spring a child’s interest in a subject that originally doesn’t interest them.
