This document provides information about Museum Box, a website that allows students to create virtual exhibits by adding various media files to a digital "box". Teachers can register their school to review and approve student work. Once approved, students can create accounts to submit boxes, which will then be reviewed and published by their teacher. The document outlines how teachers can set up school and student accounts, and provides examples and additional resources on using Museum Box in the classroom.
