= Wednesday, December 7, 2011 = I briefly talked about putting together a Museum in a Box project for extra credit, but I found a new program that actually allows you to create a "virtual" museum. I have requested permission and registered, but it will take a few days to get approved. Therefore, I will postpone the project until we get permission and then assign it to you. Here is a link to what the virtual museums look like. I think you'll agree that its pretty cool and allows you to be more engaged in the project.
