Module #4, Post #1

Upon clicking on the “FLASH – High Bandwidth” (or HTML version – but the flash is better as it’s much more interactive and everything is embedded) you are led to the coolest virtual museum I have ever found. Once you are in the virtual museum you can scroll your mouse over the people, the items, the buildings, etc. and it brings up information boxes about them. This website also has mini interviews throughout talking about the various items. It really gives you slight glimpse of what aboriginal life was like – an insight to their culture.  I think that this website is definite gold mine and think that it greatly contributes to the research of indigenous cultures and gives an idea for viewers as to what their community was like.
