Kilby Wax Museum

As part of an ongoing action research project, some of the 6th grade students transformed into wax figures to bring some social studies content into the Library Media Center. The students spent weeks researching their figures and creating 60 second biographical speeches. To complete this unit, the students will create a muti-media project to highlight the life of their figure. The students will be able to use a tool of their choice that they have learned about during their computer lab time. I am going to introduce them to another option called FlipSnack that could be added in their multi-media toolbox. This is a very short example of a FlipSnack. I used the free, most basic version of the tool.  What makes this so great is that any pdf or jpeg could be added into the book. I will encourage my students to make the pages of the book in PowerPoint and export the slides as jpeg files into the book. This way they can explain the images they use. The above embedded version only shows 3 pages for some reason. I am looking into a way around this without paying full price.Enjoy!
