Genius Hour Post #5

Hey everyone,

Today I learned a little bit about Timetoast. Timetoast is a web site that allows you to create attractive timelines on the Internet for free! As you can see in the image below, if you have a free account there will be an advertisement that accompanies your timeline. Regards, the tool is quite useful you want to create a timeline quickly that also looks good. Take a look at the one that I just made!

I used to think that timelines were only really useful in application to history class. Boy was I wrong! Timelines are a great organizational tool that you can implement in the classroom to get your students on task. The way I used my timeline allow me to create a linear calendar in a new and fun way. All of the needed information is right where I need it to be and it doesn't necessarily relate to history class!

Learning about useful tools such as the one found on Timetoast is a very important part of being a teacher. Whether or not you find this resource useful is besides the point. Teachers have to be constantly learning and exploring the resources out there. These tools may help us in the classroom to create a different or more efficient workplace. We are also bringing these resources to our students so that they may learn how to use them and apply them throughout their years in school and even to their everyday life! 


Thanks for reading
