Creates random writing tasks - actually pretty cute

Victoria University's Melbourne 2051 project combines traditional writing with digital storytelling in the form of a virtual world setting built by students.

Neat little web 2.0 tool which allows facial features to be dragged across to virtual canvas. Features are in the style of Picasso painting. Some graphics functionality i.e. increase and decrease size, add colour, rotate and order. Could be good for integrating Art and Maths (flip). Could create a character and capture through SMART Notebook and use as basis for writing, descriptions, etc.

The aim of this project is to produce age-appropriate non-fiction books for children from birth to age 12. These books are richly illustrated with photographs, diagrams, sketches, and original drawings. Wikijunior books are produced by a worldwide community of writers, teachers, students, and young people all working together. The books present factual information that is verifiable. You are invited to join in and write, edit, and rewrite each module and book to improve its content. Our books are distributed free of charge under the terms of the Gnu Free Documentation License.

Storybirds are short, visual stories that you make with family and friends to share and (soon) print.

If you wish to leave comments, please use the discussion tab atop all pages.

"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..."
