Timeline project--03/16/2010




1. Describe your assignment...Our assignment is to create a lesson plan, make a timeline, create a rubric and then quiz.
2. What did you like about the timeline website, rubistar and quiz star? Using these sites have made life easier. All we need to do was to sign in and start making our own timeline, rubrics and quiz. These sites can be very helpful, especially for me as a teacher in training. Having these resources would help me in my future classroom. The timeline is very helpful in posting important events for the students to remember.
3. How would you use these sites for classroom assignment? I would use these sites by having students create a presentation of their choice and having them prepare the rubrics and the quiz themselves. I can also have students evaluate each other's work.
4. How would you rate each software on a scale of 1-10? www.teach.nology.com (timeline) is a 10 as well as rubistar and quizstar. this is my first time to go into these sites and I really enjoyed it.
