Week 7 - Technology

This week, I was looking for tech tools, that would help the class to be more paperless, and to dig deeper into student understanding. I was researching 2nd grade standards for a lesson idea the other day, and one of the standards was talking about sequencing events on a timeline. I thought to myself, how cool would this be if the students could make their timelines online? The research would and gathering information would be way more organized, and easy to read. So I cam across the website, Dipity. Not only is this a website where you can make your own timeline, but it also has timelines from other people on it, and it sequencing current events, and important things in history. Therefore, students can use this website to make timelines in any grade, not just second, and use this website to look at current events that have been happening around the world.
