Museum Box

By searching on the Internet I found out a Web 2.0 tool named Museum Box that has caught my attention. It is a website that allows the users to create an argument, a description of a person or a historical period by placing items in a virtual box. To build up the box you can use any sort of files such as texts, imagines, audios and videos. It also allows you to share your work and make comments on the museum boxes done by the others.

Personally, I found out that this was a useful tool to use in CLIL sessions or even in ordinary English lessons. As it is a tool which offers similar applications to Glogster, I think it could be nice to use it so that students learn how to work with other Web 2.0 tools. I particularly like the idea of sharing and commenting the others’ work because that is something that fosters interaction between learners. Apart from having a look to the others work, Museum Box also allows the learners to present their works to the class.

If you want more information, you can find a video on the Museum Box's website!

Hope it would be useful for your current or future lessons!
