112-You Simply Must Try StoryMaps from Knight Lab...Starring Max Muhlbaier and Matt Rease
b"This past summer, I interviewed Michael Brilla about creating timelines\\xa0on an amazing platform called Knight Lab. I had my students such create timelines this past September. It was a solid\\xa0experience for all. The only issue we had with this application was that kids had to fill out a Google Spreadsheet and then submit that sheet to the Knight\\xa0Lab platform. This one variable caused some frustration with my students. Imagine that!
What I love about StoryMaps is there are no spreadsheets involved. Your kids create the entire StoryMap right on the Knight Lab platform. It's totally web-based...which is magical. When kids are done, they hit the share button and they have the link.\\xa0
This is a perfect activity for any lesson that involves events taking place in various locations. I had my students create a StoryMap on the Mongols.
To help me tell this story is Max Muhlbaier and Matt Rease. These two articulate young students (primary sources) will describe utilizing this platform."
