Description
Interactive Timeline
For the Final Project, you are required to make a timeline of the events in the history of American education that made a significant impact, and include a summary of each event.
Guidelines for the Timeline
To create the timeline, use the information from each week’s
Timeline Discussion Forum response. (You may use the events you listed
or the events your peers have listed. You will upload your text, event
by event, to a timeline you create using Tiki-Toki.
You must include historical events, with each significant time period
being represented with at least two different events/individuals. You
must include an introduction timeline slide (as prompted by tiki-toki)
that will include your name, the name of the course, and a brief
description of what your timeline entails. You must include a minimum
of 20 historical events; feel free to include more events in the area(s)
that you feel were most significant. You are encouraged to use
scholarly sources where appropriate. After selecting the historical
events, compose a brief summary (25 to 50 words) for each, and select
and include a historical image or video that highlights the event.
Include a minimum of three sources in addition to your textbook and
reference them in APA 6th-edition style. Once the timeline is complete,
please include the final tiki-toki link in your written document.
Additional notes regarding the timeline:
- Review the following example of the Final Timeline Assignment for EDU 324.
- The events/figures that have been chosen for the example are not significant to the history of American Education and may not be used in your final timeline.
- When creating your own timeline, please be sure to adjust the date as needed; either the actual date; February 5, 2014 or 2014, whichever is appropriate.
- Please be sure that all images have captions.
Written document must include:
- Cover page
- Reflection of the timeline
- Tiki-toki link
- A reference page
Reflection Items:
- Determine which event listed in your timeline you feel is the most significant and explain why.
- State which event you found the most interesting and explain why.
- If you had access to a time travel machine, explain which event you would like to have been a part of and why.
- Predict an event that you think will be listed on future timelines and provide a rationale.
Please note you will be graded on the clarity of your narrative and the appropriateness of design (e.g., the quality of the images, how well the images relate to the given event) and the quality of your response to the reflection items.
The summaries and the written portion of the Final Project will be submitted to Turnitin, so be sure to cite your sources appropriately. Note that you must also cite in APA format the source of each of the selected historical images and/or videos. Music clips are also welcome if you can legitimately connect the song to the historical event (and properly cite the source).
**If the Tiki Toki Timeline cannot be made with the 10 Events, I have 10 more to add to the original document instead of doing the timeline. Besides the extra 10, I need the reflection questions answered.**1. Meriam Report Issued in 1928
2. Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944
3. National Defense Education Act of 1958
4. Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965
5. Education of the Handicapped Act of 1975
6. Passage of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act of 19817. First Education Summit in 1989
8. “English Only” Proposition Approved in California in 1998
9. No Child Left Behind in 2002
**I have attached my first 10 events that need to be added to a timeline or have the other 10 added to it plus the reflection questions.**
