What I really like about tiki-toki is that students are able to embed text, images and videos into their timelines giving them a very professional look and feel.

Web Tools for Schools. Monday, November 19, 2012. Is a web 2.0 tool that enables the user to create cool looking infographics. My class have been looking at inventions and inventors as part of our wider authentic learning journey which sought to answer the question - As a human race, have we really come that far?
