Exploring the idea of using Museum Box - It looks really good! I'm busy researching its use aand am quite impressed with its apparent potential for teaching and learning. Project or Topic work seems to be an obvious starting point. I think it could be quite an engaging tool, offering a dynamic means of gathering information and relevant resources and compiling them in a dynamic and interesting way. I am also wondering if it could provide a relevant methodology for teachers to gather resources for lesson or topic planning? How feasible and appropriate, and indeed useful would such a medium be? I think I need to aquire some hands on experience of using it as a tool for primary learners and as a tool for teachers. So I sense a rather large exploration project looming! This will ultimately highlight its relevance for our school. Obviously I need to focus on something very relevant to make it worthwhile and useful in its entirety; have a couple of ideas in mind. I must say I'm quite excited about using Museum Box, it seems so innovative and I love the idea of beig able to add sound and audio and video files alongside documents and images; even web links can be incorporated and all compiled in one quite attractive little place!
