I used the tool Tiki-Toki to create a timeline outlining the events leading up to, during, and after the Civil War. Click on the link below to learn more about the impact the Civil War had on U.S. History!
5th Grade Content Standard 4: Evaluate the course of events of the Civil War and its impact both immediate and long-term.
EdTech Standard 8: Use technology resources for problem-solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities.
I found Tiki-Toki to be a complicated to use at first, but once I became more familiar with the program it became easier. My favorite thing about using Tiki-Toki is being able to insert images, videos, and links; it helped me add in more information, that I didn't know, about the American Civil War. I really like the idea of teaching History outside of a standard textbook. Using this timeline in my lesson plan, allowing students to take a break from their textbooks, is a great way to engage and expand learning. Also, having the timeline linked to my blog provides extended learning for those that need it outside the classroom.
