Museum Box - Transform Students into Curators | Mark Brumley - 0 views
-
"...add pictures, videos and other resources to create mini museum exhibits. The site is not limited to history teachers. Students can use museum boxes to provide evidence to support an argument, describe a scientific or mathematic concept or create portfolios of their writing and artwork. Each museum box is made up of individual cubes and features 8 cubes per layer. What students put on each side of the cube is up to them. A searchable image gallery offers multiple historical pictures and other primary source documents. Registering for the site gives students the opportunity to upload videos, audio files and other documents to add to their virtual exhibits. A special teacher section allows you to create accounts for students and monitor the boxes they create or save money on field trips by taking students on a virtual field trip that you create for them."

It offers users a recommendation service that suggests new authors they might like, as well as automatic Facebook updates whenever a favorite writer publishes a new story. It also offers writer profile pages that gather their long-form stories from across the web together with links to the Amazon pages of their published books.

But the sheer scale of Byliner.com — a rigorously curated 29,760 feature articles, as of yesterday, and growing — seems out of proportion to this simple goal. Tayman is a long-form true believer.
