January 28, 2014 The possibilities for the use of timeline tools in the class are endless. Whether you want to teach salient historical incidents, chronological order of events, or explain a developmental process in biology or simply outline the major learning curves for the year, timeline creation tools are the ideal platforms to implement. A timeline is a visual representation that features information in connected sequences over a given period of time. The importance of timelines lies in the fact that they enable students to easily comprehend and internalize information, chronological sequences, and dates.Students can also use these tools to participate actively and in building new learning experiences. They are excellent tools for conducting scholarly research and sharing knowledge.
That being said, I have done a lot of scouring and compiled the list below. I have meticulously handpicked the tools that you as a teacher might need to use in the class with your students.
Visual Timeline Creator
Game Board Timeline. This timeline covering the history of automobiles, driving and fuel, uses the visual language of a game board. According to one of the designers, Colleen Corcoran, “It was sort of ironic to use the analogy of the Game of Life to talk about something that’s had such a huge effect on our environment and our culture.”. Timeline can handle dates literally to the beginning of time. For dates more than about 250,000 years ago, only the year is usable. Support for those older dates is still relatively new, so if anything seems off, visit our tech support site.
Criteria such as user-friendliness, simplicity, and practicality are the common denominator among all of these tools. I have also annexed another short list of iPad apps for timeline creation.
