Hi Laura! I've never done the Museum Project but I just took a look and it looks fun! With 3 classes of World History (about 80 kids) I probably wouldn't have a physical museum but I am envisioning a digital museum where students have one slide to create their "exhibit" (maybe in small groups?) and, once submitted, they could be put together to create the museum. I'd probably design a template slide to look like a room and they could add pictures, links, and captions to their exhibit items. I'm also envisioning some sort of end assignment like a scavenger hunt that would ask students to look at everyone's exhibit.

I realize I haven't answered your question so thank you for allowing me this space to "think aloud"! BUT in answer to your question about the timing--I think you could make it a fairly quick, 1-2 day check in or a lengthier project if you were looking for polish and depth.

ERIN CUNNINGHAM you are so creative and resourceful! Creating a digital museum exhibit is such a brilliant idea, especially when time is limited. Using a background template of a room adds a great touch of realism—fantastic work!

I have a question about the scavenger hunt: Do you use a specific platform to design them and streamline the process? If so, would you be willing to share some examples?

When I've done collaboration digitally, we usually just use Google Slides. I may push out a template slide to Google Classroom and then students make a copy then share with their groupmates and me. I then assemble the completed slides into a master slide deck that I reshare (view-only) with the class.
