You can search for interactive timelines on different topics (history, films, science, etc.) or even better, you can create your own timeline about your life or an event and add pictures and text.
This is great for teaching! Students could create their timelines and share it with each other. They can practise all four skills, grammar (e. g. past tense), summarising a story, events, etc.
You can embed it on your web site or blog and also create feeds (Twitter, blog, etc.).
Ever since the 17th century, the
"advancement of learning" as Francis Bacon called it, has depended upon the way print publications have organized the evaluation and dissemination of academic work. The print medium has been the default scholarly medium.
print is no longer the primary intellectual medium, and it is time for scholars to move forward.
Knowledge has new habits, new identities, and a new social life within the radically transformed ways in which communication takes place today.
We must have a
scholarly communications system configured to the predominant
communications medium of the new millennium.
Academics who refuse to transform the way they communicate and value information will find, like the professional journalists, that they simply won't play much of a role in the knowledge commons.
we must follow Jesus. How do we follow Jesus? We silently listen and obey him teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and how to live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world
We need to see
the way documents have served not simply to write, but also to underwrite
social interactions; not simply to communicate, but also to coordinate social

document forms both old (like the newspaper) and relatively
new (like the television program) have underwritten a sense of community
among a disparate and dispersed group of people
Marginal notes, footnotes, and conventional commentaries are merely the
clearest examples of the ways that writing continually provokes more writing
and that texts provide context for each other
Indeed, writing on writing is both literally and metaphorically an important
part of the way meaning is negotiated.
Annotation is a rich cultural practice
which helps, if only by the density of comment attached,
he appearance of entire conventional books at Web sites now
supports intertextual research and practices.
Almost every day a new site
appears with searchable and downloadable texts. Some allow commentary, too.
More generally, creative use of new documents no longer involves direct
challenges to old ones
Rather, these new forms appear to reinvigorate the old, extending their
useful social life not ending it.
primary characteristic
of documents is their mobility
Documents
quickly pass beyond the reach and protection of their maker and have to
fend for themselves.
