time-lines



1. Today we went over some cool tools that we could use in our classrooms. Mr. Jenkins instructed us to go to a couple of websites where we could create our own time-line.

2. I would introduce this to my students by showing them a time-line that I made, then I would ask them to create their own timelines as an assignment and practice. I would definitely use this tool for history projects or topics that could use a timeline as a graphic organizer.

3. I used the teachnology.com program and I thought that it was very easy to use, but it was more for the simple time-lines. I'll give it a 6.5 for simplicity.
I also used the xtimeline.com program and I thought that it turned out pretty cool with some graphics. This program is a little bit more complicated to work with for first-time users, but it's made for the more detailed time-lines. I give it a 8 for making it look really cool.
