LEARNING OBJECT - timetoast

(COULD NOT CREATE LIVE VIEW)

Reflection: 
The timetoast learning object was effective. Students would have the option to add primary and secondary sources ie: newspaper articles, youtube videos, websites etc. I like how you can make the timeline interactive. I think the dots are too close together in my timeline, because Nunavut joined Confederation much after the initial date. I think it would be neat if the timetoast application would allow you to input important information (as some does not fit in the timeline ie: internal and external causes for Confederation).
