Time Travelers
To cover a vast amount of the earth's history (geological time), we are going to do a series of activities that hopefully will engage you and help you understand how we got to where we are today. You will get in groups of three to do the work but the work must appear on each members blog. Using the iPad and the Scanner App go in the hallway and scan the codes. Use the information to create the timeline in [|http://www.dipity.com] (Title, Date (with time), Description) Choose year as the amount of time in your time line Add an event for each QR code you scanned. Here's a sample of what is expected - []
