Hi Karen. Are the students supposed to make the other artifacts? Oh, by the way, one of the things doesn't disappear.
Hi back! I am in Cambridge, and this project is a demonstration for a workshop at MIT. I'm thinking about doing Scratch combined with the History Alive workbook next year, where kids do Scratch projects for the map activities like this. What do you think?
(view all replies)Is this completely finished or are you still working on it may I ask? Also, I think it would be nice to be able to click again to get out of the Info box with out having the artifact come back up again. ^^;
This is meant for my students to finish, when we come back in the fall. The info box goes away on its own after a number of seconds for reading...maybe that is set too long. That's something my class can test out--thanks for the comment.
