Timetoast is a fun tool that puts a spin on traditional timelines. It allows you to add dates spanning any time you wish. One great feature is that you can add information to each of the dates, as well as a picture to go with it. This is a good aspect to amp of the educational benefit of the tool. Students can go into more depth about the topics. Pictures help by adding interest to the topic.
There are many ways to use Timetoast in the classroom:
- To show birthdays of the students in the class
- To show the life of a historical figure
- To show additions of rights in America
- To show a personal timeline of ones life
I used Timetoast to make a timeline of the US Federal Holidays. This is a fun way to teach kids about important dates in US history, as well as keep them interested in days out of school!
I like Timetoast because (like most of the other tools I've written about so far) it is great for a visual learner like me! It clearly lays out what is being discussed so students are able to take in the information in two ways.
