Task 2.4. A Time Line with TimeToast

The main aim of this activity is to learn about the four Bourbon kings ruled Spain (6th Primary) First of all, the steps we followed to achieve this objective were the following ones:

- Get into groups of five.
- Each group chose one important king.
- They looked for information and wrote a small biography on him.
-  They completed the timeline with the most important facts.
-  Joined them all together to do a timeline.

I think TimeToast has a lot of advantages. It is a great tool for students to organize events during a period of time. After finding important dates and information relating to Bourbon Kings, they created a timeline. This timeline could be used as an assessment of what they learned. Moreover, this tool helped students to summarize the main ideas in a text and it encouraged active learning because they were working in group. 

On the other hand, the main disadvantage includes requiring an email. This could be an issue for the parents of younger students. In my case, students worked in the same account (I made for them) in order to introduce information. Also, pictures must be ready to upload and this hindered some students who are unfamiliar with uploading images.

My students really enjoyed with this interactive activity when clicking though the events of this timeline so I think it’s a good tool to make lessons memorable and fun.
