This tool was actually rather hard to work with, I'm not sure if it was the site or just my internet connection but I could hardly do anything on in. Whenever I tried to upload a picture it would just freeze for about five minutes until I either exited out of the page, or refreshed it. The pros of this tool is that it is a fun way to teach on a timeline scale. Students would be able to utilize it to tell stories or a sort of project on a timeline. It will be really great for them to be able to see how everything works in time. It can be used for a lot more than just History, but to share how their weekend went, or to show the timeline of a science experiment. So far this has been my least favorite tool, but it does show the time difference which is really nice.
Utah Core Standard 2 for Social Studies, that says that the "students will understand chronology and significance of key events leading to self-government."
Ed-Tech Standard 8 which states that they "use technology resources for problem-solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities." As they can gather information from a tiki-toki and put it together in their head.
ISTE Knowledge Constructor: I critically select, evaluate, and synthesize digital resources into a collection that reflects my learning and builds my knowledge.

E-Maze is a wonderful tool that is very useful for presentations and infographs. It has certain formats to choose from, and from which you can edit into anything you want. For my E-Maze project I decided to focus on Mental Health. I really enjoyed this tool because it presents information, in a fun way. As a student I will use this tool more often when it comes to class presentation, as it displays it in a creative way and is very easy to work with. Unlike google slides it isn't as easily shared, but unlike google slides it gives more animation on demand, without having to go in and change all the settings. It is a very easy tool, easy to pick up on, and I think the students will love using it. They could use it to present information to the class, family, or any other time that they need their thoughts organized. Also, as a teacher I feel that this tool will really bring the class to life and help them understand more of the subject matter, as the presentation is fun!
UEN Health Education standard 1: Help the students learn ways to improve mental health and manage stress. I think this is a needed subject as it is very prevalent in our day and age. For the children to grow into healthy adults, they need to know how to manage stress.
Ed Tech Standard 5: use technology tools for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and presenting knowledge for audiences inside and outside the classroom.
ISTE Computational Thinker: They identify authentic problems, and work with data to automate solutions. That they can work with this tool to collect data and present it.
