RWT Timeline: Amazing Free iPad or Computer Tool

The Timeline App is a tremendously easy app (or website) to create timelines.  So many of the timeline apps are extremely expensive.  This app allows for three different options for organizing events:

• Date
• Time
• Event

A timeline that graphically represents related items or events in a sequential order and displayed along a line can be another method for students to "show what they know".

Exporting Options are as a JPG or as a PDF.  Collaboration is also possible as a "file" type .RWT can be emailed or Airdropped so that students can add their portions to the group timeline.

Global Issues Using Flipboard with Criteria and Implementation

Completed setting up Flipboard magazines with students this morning.  Mrs. Brylski set parameters for the entire semester. (See board picture) We also made students create a title, share the magazines with Mrs. Brylski so she could follow them and comment, and set their "cover page".

Quick Current Event Searches Using Twitter and Google News

A response to a teacher who is seeking a quick, efficient way for students to discover current environmental issues.

The Response

If you want an easy and CURRENT way to find resources on Environmental Issues WITHOUT creating log in information you have two options.

First, the 15 Environmental Problems resource will help to start researching correct topics.  Using these words will guide the students.

Second, students travel to Twitter Search - you can put this link in Canvas.  Students will type in their topic and great and informational things will show up.  When I searched Twitter for Global Warming I found this

Third, have students use https://news.google.com/ and again have students use the "search words" found in the first link I gave you.

Searching Ocean Acidification revealed this for me.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Twitter Search 

Google News

All of this can be accessed by students using the Safari App.
