TIMELINE WITH TIMETOAST

https://www.timetoast.com/timelines/2552418 I am sharing the timeline that my students and me created about Antonio vélez,a cyclist and climber whose life we are studying in a multidisciplinar project in my school. We started last April 23rd with the reading of the book about his life Vélez Veloz, and we have been researching data to complete this timeline. My students are in 4th grade The learning objectives of this activity were to create a biography of a local sportsman about whom we are carrying out a global project at school. The students had to create a timeline after watching a video about this person's life. They needed to find the most important events in his life and mark them within a date The main advantages of using timetoast are that it is a very easy tool to use and that the students were very motivated because they could choose the pics and add them instead of drawing them as they are used to doing in other projects. THe steps I followed were: First I projected a video about Velez´s Life, they made the draft of a timeline in their notebook, then they added the important events they got after watching the video. Finally the students shared the events with their peers and among all, the most important ones were chosen to add to the timetoast timeline. The main problem was that the students e mails ( cooperative emails that belong to the school because they are children) weren't allowed to register an account in timetoast, so after two sessions wasted trying to do it, I decided to do it with the whole group and using the interactive smartboard. The students loved using timetoast, they were really motivated and the product was so cool that they felt very proud of it. Next time I will be sure that we can use a safe email that allows them to register in timetoast. I could achieve my goal thanks to timetoast by motivating the students, creating a cooperative learning experience and showing my students innovative ways to do something new with an old assignment that they are used to doing.
