For the timeline hands on activity I used Sutori which was pretty easy to use and I really enjoyed this assignment. This will be a good assignment for a 4th grade class to use in social studies. They could create a timeline for pretty much any event that the teacher would want them to research on or would want them to get more familiar with. It could be used for any other subject but I think that it would be more used for a social studies class. The ISTE for students that I would empowered learner, digital citizen, knowledge constructor, and innovative learner. For students to use Sutori or any other timeline program the student will need to research information that will need them to use technology just to look for the information they need. Also, they would need to create their timeline which would fall under the innovative learner and as they are doing it they will be learning about whatever topic they are doing the timeline on. Under the 6c's of education the student will pretty much be utilizing all of them like character, citizenship, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. If they would be working with a partner or in a group they would also be using the collaboration part of the 6c's of education. The advantage of the utilizing a timeline assignment for students is that it will help them to remember events and dates they happened. The reason for that is because the teacher will give them information about it, they will need to research and then enter their information. For disadvantage not to sure what it would be but probably having to use the program that there might be some students that will need additional help to use it or that they don't find it enjoyable since they will need to research information.
