This is going to be something I do with SEEK students in the near future. It looks like a lot of fun. It did take a while to get signed up (10 days). I will let you know how it goes. I registered under RWE, so if you would like to add your name as a teacher so that you can manage your class, try clicking on the teacher tab at the top right of the site. If you can't sign up as a teacher... let me know and I can add you manually.
Welcome to 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 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. More...
Our inspiration
Thomas Clarkson The project was inspired by the anti-slavery campaigner - Thomas Clarkson, who did exactly as described above.
Thomas Clarkson's Box He carried around a box of items (ranging from African produce to diagrams of transportation ships) to illustrate his arguments during his campaign.
