Timelines

Timelines provide a nice visual of when things happened or will happen.  Have students make them to create a historical overview of events, record class birthdays, document school events, summarize the plot of a story and the list goes on...

I found an excellent collection of timelines on cyber-kap.blogspot.com:

1. Capzles - Quite simply one of the nicest timeline creation sites around, w/ a beautiful user interface as well as the ability to embed into a site.
2. Time Rime - An excellent site w/ educational instance (great for teachers) that allows users to create multimedia timelines.
3. xTimeline - Share wonderful looking timelines w/ audio, video, and pictures. Very user friendly too!!
4. TimeGlider - Great site that not only lets users create multimedia timelines but legends as well. There is a "plus upgrade" in the works specifically for education!
5. Dipity - Create beautiful timelines w/ the ability to add video/pictures.
6. Time Toast - A bullet point centered timeline w/ text and pictures.
7. Preceden - A fun easy site to use to create interactive timelines.
8. Timelinr - A very simple to use timeline generator that only displays text.
9. Our Timelines - Create timelines by using preexisting forms (text only).
10. Read Write Think - Very similar to Our Timelines for creating text only timelines.
