Session 4: Timeline

How to Teach English Through Tiki-toki?

Hello everyone.. How's your day? Welcome back to my blog..

In the previous session, I have shared about how to teach English through video Animaker. And now, I am gonna share how to teach English using another application. It is called "Tiki Toki". Have you ever heard Tiki Toki? Or have you ever used it?

Well, tiki toki (https://www.tiki-toki.com) is online maker software for creating beautiful interactive timelines that you can share on the web. It is not too complicated application, but if you find some difficulties, you can use another similar applications, such as timetoast (https://www.timetoast.com/) and timeglider (https://timeglider.com/).

 This is the screen of Tiki Toki

Tiki toki is very useful for teaching and learning, escpecially for the material that talk about history or list of events. Tiki toki might be the easiest thing to grab the student understanding fast. 

Why tiki toki is one of a good idea for teaching historical material or list of events? As we know that both history or events have a long period, from the past till now. It means that, we need to spend a lot of time to read, and it will make the students bored, right? By that condition, we can use tiki toki to make a timeline of history or list of events. The students will get the real information with or without a long reading activity. It is actually very good for teacher that have limit time to teach.

I will give you an example of timeline about the CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) and its development's history that has been made by me and my group. 

This is the screenshot of the timeline
