2. There are three websites to use:
• Timetoast.com
• Meograph.com
• Myhistro.com
WEBSITES

3. Using a timeline tool could be useful in class for a few reasons:
• Easy to organize information and give students a visual
• Can use to allow students to learn about each other.
• Students can use these tools to organize important dates for classes such as
history.

EXAMPLE

7. • This site would be good for history and the dates for the events.
• The events are put onto a map at the place the event occurred.
• When timeline is generated it makes it a video for the specific dates
entered.
• This site is harder to navigate and would be better for older students.
