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.
