This website would be a great tool for my classroom in the beginnning of the year. The tool offers the ability to create an online timeline with pictures and words. What is special about it is your friends and family can access it and, through email, can add their own comments and pictures. You end up having a timeline that not only you created, but everyone in your life created and added onto. Another plus is it will email out to friends if you have an event in your life that is coming up....like the birth of a child.
I see this working in my classroom with anything from a student's beginning of the year timeline to a timeline of the life of a person they are doing a biography on.I loved this website!!
