HISTORY OF UTAH
Click here for the history of Utah
Social Studies Standard 2: Students will understand how Utah's history has been shaped by many diverse people, events, and ideas.
Education Technology Standard #5: Use technology tools (e.g. Multimedia authorizing, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.
I used Tiki-Toki to teach about the history of Utah. I included information about how the territory of Utah was first discovered, how it became in possession of Mexico, and how the United States gained possession of the territory after the war. I also included information of the establishment of major landmarks in Utah. I thought that Tiki-Toki was kind of hard to use at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was fairly easy to use. I think that this is a great way to teach students the timeline of events because it allows you to put pictures, information, and links for more information about certain events.
Students, please look through this timeline tonight as we will start discussing the history of Utah in class tomorrow. We will be doing a project about the history of Utah so you will want to come back and look at this timeline for reference as it will provide you with the information that you will need.
