XTimeline

Alex's online history class is using a FREE online timeline program called XTimeline. I'm not sure how much you'll be able to see with this embedded timeline, but you can go to the site and play around with it. Using the green buttons (upper right), you can see 2 different views of the timeline - one with photos and one without.



(TO USE: TRY CLICKING THE GREEN BUTTONS. THE BOTTOM
GREEN BUTTON DRAGS THE TIMELINE)

Basically, you can add an event with a title, a date (you can also choose a starting and ending date), a  description and a photo. You can also print out your timeline as a list - I don't think you can print it out as a chart, but I might be wrong.

What a fantastic resource! That will be a very handy site to use. We will be learning about the establishment of government, so I can see using this application for that.
Thanks, Dana!!

Great resource! Thank you.

I'll have to try it out and see how easy it is to use. If it is easy enough, maybe the boys could summarize their year of history.

Thanks,
Sarah
