Students used their NISD school email addresses to set up a free account and learned to pull information from a variety of sources such as Google research, news journals, and textbooks. The best aspect of this platform was that students got to customize the timeline in a way that was both visually appealing and informative. According to the students, "This project was fun" and "we learned a lot from looking at our friend's timelines." Time toast allows for students to comment on each other’s timeline as a way of giving feedback and learning from one another. Once the timelines were published, they could be shared with anyone in the district, state, or globe, which makes possibilities endless.
