Museum Box

 Museum Box

This site provides the tools for you to build up an argument or description of an event, person or historical period by placing items in a virtual box. What items, for example, would you put in a box to describe your life, the life of a tree or cell, the history of a career, the life of a Victorian Servant or Roman soldier, or to show that slavery was wrong and unnecessary? You can display anything from a text file to a movie. You can also view and comment on the museum boxes submitted by others.
MuseumBox is a cross curricular tool. It is particularly useful in areas of the curriculum where students have to assess, investigate or debate issues and explore and develop ideas.  In the Guidance for Teacher area, there are creative ways listed to use Museum Box in the classroom.

If you wish to review and approve your pupils' work then you will need to:
Register your school    Once you have been approved (can take up to 5 days) you can review their work.
