First off, I've asked you guys to go and try out Tiki-Toki, the timeline website where our project will take place. Once you sign up for a free account (I don't have a class code for you, so just make it the regular free account), you can start entering in events. Here's how:
Ok, got it? Hopefully. If you'd like to see an awesome example of a completed timeline... too bad. There's none. You will be the first students ever to do this (for me). However, if you want to see my terrible example of a completed timeline, it's right here.
Now, to go over some of the intricacies of this site, CREATE A NEW STORY:
 |
| You will see this under Basic info. |
- The Title must be a quick sentence fragment that just gets the point across (e.g. "Anne Frank born").
- The End date must be the same as the Start date.
- Intro should be one short sentence that gives a very basic idea of what the event was. More detail than the Title, but still not a full paragraph.
- A Category for Anne Frank must be set.
- Any website used must be added in on Link.
 |
| You will see this under Story media. |
- Click + ADD NEW MEDIA to add a picture, video, or audio file.
- The Source should be the link to where the picture is located. (If the picture is on your computer, load it to your blog and then put the link in.)
- Make sure the Type is set to the right thing (Images, Video, Audio).
- You may use more than one picture for each timeline event, but at the very least, you need one appropriate, applicable picture or video per event.
 |
| You will see this under Extra info. |
- Write a full paragraph about the event (in your own words) under Full text.
Got it? The first 10 events will be due by next Wednesday, March 7th.
