It is very instructional and its not hard to learn how to use. You can add your own pictures and captions. The one thing that i disliked was you were only aloud to add very short captions, I would have liked to make my descriptions a little bit longer. Other than that small detail i really loved Animoto and will definitely be using it a lot. I highly recommend it.

Tiki-Toki Staying Safe


Image result for staying safe    Image result for tiki toki

Reflection: I really liked using Tiki-Toki. I definitely will be using this in my classroom when I teach about history and things that have multiple steps/ dates. I used mine to teach the students how to be safe throughout their days. Everyday students and kids associate themselves with many dangerous things so it is important that they know how to take care of themselves. This tiki toki is a day and the things that may happen through out the students day. This timeline instructs students on how they should be and act in those situations. My students can use my tiki toki at home to study for tests and i can use it in my classroom as part of my lesson. The only hard part of tiki toki was being able to space the time line so they weren't too far apart, i had to change the time because the items were too far apart and you couldn't see them. Other than that i loved tiki toki and will be using it a lot. I also think that once i learn how to use it more i will like it more.
