TIMELINES

1. Today in Ed480, we practiced using timeline generators from some websites (teach-nology.com & xtimeline.com). We input dates, events and information to create timelines. We first created a simple timeline of our life events. We later created an informative timeline on 6 events in Computer History.

2. I would use these timeline programs in the classroom to help provide a visual for teaching important events in history, social studies or science. I may ask students to use these programs to create timelines of different periods as their projects. I may use it to learn more about students' lives from creating their own timelines.

3.  I would rate teach-nology.com's Timeline generator as 9. This website's generator would be easy to use with students. However, including information may be limited.
   I would rate xtimeline.com's timeline generator as 8 as there is no option to view brief details with events. It may take a bit more work to create a timeline.
