Student Creations: Timelines- they aren't just for history anymore.
Just some ideas
History: Create a timeline of an event, an era, or a biography of someone's life.
ELAR: Use a timeline to create a plot diagram or chose a character to map their major moments,
Math: Create a timeline to demonstrate the steps to solving an equation or how to solve/create a word problem.
Science: Create a diagram of using the scientific method. Use a timeline to show your process if working through a science experiment.
Fine Arts: Biographies of a composer, actor, or artist, timelines of a musical era or artistic movement, charting the development of how technologies have changed the development in music, art, and drama
PE/Health: Chart the development/growth of heath goals as they are occurring.
All of these tools are free accounts although Canva, at least, will have some paid content included. However there are plenty of options available to create these timelines completely free. See this example and the videos below for a quick overview of each.
Technology Resources for Teachers
I highly recommend addressing ELAR components during distance learning (Secondary) and Making PBL a Reality.
