Rebecca Farr's curator insight, May 15, 2021 12:24 AM
Sutori is an excellent tool for use in the history classroom. It provides a more engaging method of creating timelines in history classes. It is also able to be used in the English classroom as a method of creating a plot map when conducting a novel study or while reading a play (Shakespeare's Hamlet would be a great example, with so many interwoven plot lines and characters). Not only is the teacher able to create a Sutori timeline to assist student learning for a self-paced interactive learning activity, but students can create their own Sutori timelines and presentations. This would be an ideal collaborative learning tool where the class is divided into groups and each group creates their own Sutori based on a particular aspect of the unit for other groups to use. There could be space provided at the end of the timeline or presentation for the students to give feedback to the creators. This ultimately allows students to analyse and evaluate sources for reliability and relevance before including them in the Sutori, to be creative, collaborative, use critical thinking and engage in communication with their peers. This would be an example of redefinition under the SAMR model (Puentedura, 2006).
