Today I will discuss two unique classroom tools and their uses.
First up we have Museumbox presented by Cody - http://museumbox.e2bn.org/
This is a very cool tool for an aspiring history teacher for sure. What would a Greek soldier have on hand during a battle or an American World War 2 have on hand storming up the beaches of Normandy? Museumbox allows you to look in to the life of that person and what was essential to them. You can place items in to boxes that is something that specific person would have on them at that time. You could do a project where students ask their parents what they found essential when they were teenagers growing up and to make a Museumbox about them. I see a lot of possibilities with this free program.
Next we have GoAnimate from Dashaya - http://goanimate.com/
For simply signing up you can make short animated clips of anything that youd like. GoAnimate also has a large amount of possibilities at its disposal, allowing recreations of events in history through the creativity of the student. Check this program out for sure and have fun with it - there is alot of potential for the teacher themselves to make a project for their lectures - it's not just for the students with GoAnimate.
This concludes my second analysis of classroom tools - please feel free to comment and share your ideas on these two tools.
