Rodin Museum

Rodin Museum contains a series of videos dedicated to the works and life of Auguste Rodin. From the app’s main screen, users are presented a video library that they can browse by category or by scrolling down the list of videos. When users see a video of interest, they can tap it. The app will then play the video, which discusses the sculpture in detail. While watching the video, users can tap the “More Info” to access additional images and background about the sculpture, the “Camera” button to take a picture, the “Share” button to save the video or send it out over social media, or the “Star” button to favorite the video for later viewing. The app also provides additional information related to the museum, which can be accessed by tapping the “Map” or “More” buttons on the main screen.

Instructional Ideas

1. When teaching about Rodin, teachers can let students explore the videos in this app. For each video, students can record the name of the sculpture, summarize the video in a sentence, and paraphrase three facts they learned from the video. Students can then share the facts they learned from each video in small groups, with a partner, or with the whole class.
2. When completing a research project about sculptures or Rodin, students can use this app to learn about those topics. Students will have to ensure they cite this app in their research.
3. After creating sculptures and viewing videos in this app, students can create a video about their sculpture that models the ones included in this video. Students can use a Movie Maker app to record and edit their videos.
