TIMEGLIDER is an easy-to-use, fully featured timeline maker that makes professional, scalable graphic representations of chronological events. Perfect for a student to use, and suitable even for a professional "stand and deliver".
You can add dates, images and links and even view 2 timelines simultaneously. How could you use this? A student could map events in a novel against real world events in the same time period, compare the rise of two civilizations, or show the unfolding of a major historical incident.
In order to use this great app, you will need to create an account (an email address is required.)
The Worldbook online (available in many school districts) also has a timeline gereator that has some similar features.
Timeline generators are just one more interesting way to allow kids to demonstrate their learning and thinking.
