Tiki Toki {Interactive Timeline Creation}

Tiki-Toki is a virtual and interactive timeline creator. One of the best parts of creating a timeline online is that students have the ability to add direct links to websites (which provide additional information on a topic), add links to or embed videos (which bring the events to life, and to add pictures that stick with the viewer (even after they have stopped looking at the timeline).

Tiki-Toki makes it easy to add all of these elements and more. Students can pick the time frame that their timeline encompasses, and then get to work on adding interactive elements to their timeline. Not only can students complete these timelines as project based assessments, but you, as the teacher, can create these awesome interactive timelines for students to visit throughout the course of your lesson to learn more about the topics that you are covering in class.

Try it out & let me know what you think,

Easy Teacher Halloween Costumes

As we prep for Halloween, I wanted to share with you some super easy costume ideas that I have found that I think our students would enjoy. I have linked them all to their original source (if I could find it) so you can read any helpful hints they might have posted.

Build Your Wild Self {Animal Adaptations}

Build Your Wild Self  was a site that I just stumbled upon, but was probably one of my students favorite activities that we did all year. Basically, students are able to create themselves by playing with their body, hair, eyes, mouth, clothes. They can then make themselves "wild" by adding headgear, ears, face, arms, bottoms, backsides, and tails that are all body parts of wild animals. This activity isn't all fun though - there is educational value too! Once the students are done creating their "wild self" they will click I'M DONE. This will take them to the next page where it will explain to the students what is "wild" about them. It will tell them where their wild parts came from and why those parts are important to the survival of that particular animal. So there you have it - educational and a ton of fun! Just wait to see what kind of creatures your students come up with! It will be entertaining, I guarantee you that much. Try it ou

Welcome!

Hi y'all! This is a first for me and I am excited for you to join on this journey with me. I recently began my TPT journey after 3 years in the classroom. I was hired as a 6th grade math teacher, but quickly fell in love with technology and took a job as an Educational Technology Specialist my second year teaching. I spend most of my days educating little minds and putting together resources that my teachers can use in their classrooms. I am always creating lessons for my classes so I figured, why not share what I am doing with others. I always love the lessons and resources that I find on TPT from other teachers, so I hope that I can do the same for some of you.  I will post freebies here that won't be available in my TPT store so make sure that you subscribe to my blog. I will also use this blog to write about my products and share about how they work in my classroom. I look forward to this adventure with you.  - Hilary
