Tiki-Toki

Tiki-Toki

I put my main focuses in this standard in bold. Reading Literature, 6th grade, Standard 10:

By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, in the grades 6–8 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.

There were not specific objectives in this standard.

• The purpose of my Tiki-Toki is to teach students that all different types of novels win these nationally recognized awards, and learn the genres and different writing styles of each acclaimed author.

Ed-Tech Standard 8: Use technology resources (e.g., calculators, data collection probes, videos, educational software) for problem-solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities.

This is something that I could use in my classroom as an alternative to a powerpoint. It is interactive in a sense that each section of the timeline moves in a different way and it can be made very colorful to keep the students attention. This is not something I would recommend elementary age students using, just for me personally it was hard to navigate this program and try to get the hang of it. This is a great organizational program and it would be perfect for dozens of different history based assignments as well as any sort of timeline a student or teacher may be wanting to use. I really did like this program after I was able to understand it better and feel comfortable using it, and making it exactly how I wanted it. I would recommend this program to other teachers and educators definitely.
