Timeline Project (march 16, 2010)

Class assignment march 16, 2010
1.) Describe your assignment?
- Our assignment was to create a time line using the software from www.teach-nology.com, we choosed a topic on what our timeline will be on and researched dates based on the chronological order of that topic. Me and my partner desiree's topic was transportation and our them was Going for a ride!, so we created a time line based on the first types of transportation made. Then we used rubistar to generate a rubric based on students creating their time line and an online quiz from quiz-star which we generated questions based on the time line we made.
2.) What did you like about the time line websites? Rubistar and Quiz-star?
- With the time line websites it was really easy to use because it is simple and fairly easy to create a time line because all you have to do is input the data. With the rubistar and quiz-star it was easy and good as well because all the details were there and all you had to do was input your expectations and questions and the software generates it for you.
3.) How would you use these sites for a classroom assignment?
- The way i would use these sites for my classroom is if I were to have a time line project I would make them go to this website and generate their time line using it so that it is easier for them to create a timeline. Also for the rubistar I would use this site to make rubrics for my students project as well as quiz star to generate a quiz for them as well.
4.) how would you rate each software on a scale of 1 to 10?
- I would rate these softwares on a scale of 8 because even though it was easy you cant really do anything creative with it. But overall it was a good software to use.
