Does anyone remember the search tool, Google Timeline? I used to love sharing it with my high school students, but sometime around 2011 it disappeared. I’ve used timelines in my English classroom to discuss book plots, front load historical information, and to discuss changes to society over a period of time. When used well, timelines can be a wealth of information and if you have the right tool, timelines can be fun and interactive.
I’ve found a really great open source tool for you to use to create interactive timelines! Check out Timeline JS. Technology beginners and experts can use this resource to create custom timelines by pulling source from Google Spreadsheets, Flickr, Google Maps, Youtube, Soundcloud, and many more. Use the timeline on your Moodle site, or on your blog, or as a presentation in your classroom, or any other way you see fit.
In other news, we’ve started a trial for Sage Video, which includes a fabulous Education collection. We’re trialing all three collections: Communications & Mass Media, Counseling & Psychotherapy, and Education.
