There are several web tools for creating timelines (<a href=\"http:\/\/timetoast.com\">TimeToast<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/capzles.com\">Capzles<\/a> to name a couple), but the one I think has the best features is Dipity (<em>this website no longer works as of 4\/3\/2020<\/em>). I wanted to try it out with a class, and Ms. Favale is always up for anything (thanks Doris!) so we made timelines about Abraham Lincoln&#8217;s life (since we celebrated his birthday yesterday).  I gave each student an event in his life to illustrate using Pixie. You can download the list of events <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/30Feb2011\/LincolnTimeline.pdf\">here<\/a>. Then we exported the pictures as JPGs and I uploaded them to Dipity. One of the cool things about Dipity is that it not only makes an interactive timeline, but you can also display the events as a flipbook, a list, or even a map!
