Tiki Toki - Colonization of North America

Standard Addressed:
5th Grade Social Studies
Students will understand how the exploration and colonization of North America transformed human history.

Educational Technology Standard Addressed:
Standard 5
Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom

I used this tool because it is an effective way of showing events in history, without being TOO boring. It is a really fun way for students to see events on a time line, they can zoom back and forth between events if they choose, I think that would be more exciting for kids then just a print out.
