Project Planning

TikiToki is a web app that makes it easy for people to create interactive multimedia timelines in their browsers. Images, text and even videos (YouTube, Vimeo and AVIs) can be embedded in TikiToki timelines.

The timelines created by TikiToki can be easily shared and you can also embed your timelines on your own blog or website. It's also possible to create 3D timelines for Tiki-Toki.

Of course, you could create a timeline to describe historical events but you could also use it to plan events in the future.

There is a free version but it's also possible to buy premium and education versions which give some extra features, many of them to do with enabling collaboration.

This is the software we've trialled with a view to using it across the school for pupils to create their own digital portfolios.

It's a powerful tool and is designed to be useful at school but also beyond, through university and into employment.

Although it has obvious value as a toll which promotes reflection on past events, it could also be used to look forward and to help pupils to plan and track their progress towards a given goal.

It's quite easy to use, although there are some aspects which would make it even easier, notably a mobile version which is lacking at the moment.

This tool, part of the Google suite is used to create personalised, custom maps using the extensive mapping of the world carried out by Google.

It's possible to add points, lines and shapes to the map, as well as other information .

It would be invaluable if planning a project which has some sort of geographical element, perhaps.
