Artifacts

=Artifacts in the Virtual Museum=

Assign or have students pick from the list of artifacts below. Each group will create an wiki page for their artifact exhibit. Students can link to their artifacts pages from this page, or you have students place their link on a timeline. Below are two web 2.0 tools for creating timelines if you choose this option. [|xtimeline] - easy way to create and collaborate on web 2.0 style multimedia timelines with videos, photos and text. [|Dipity] - Similar functionality to xtimeline, collaborate and share timelines with the added feature that adding location data for an event automatically inserts a Google map in the entry.
