    Within this webpage is a link to Real Lives. It offers a free trial but it is subscription based although it looks like it could be used across curriculum areas. Real Lives is a unique, interactive life simulation game that enables you to live one of billions of lives in any country in the world. Through statistically accurate events, Real Lives brings to life different cultures, human geography, political systems, economic opportunities, personal decisions, health issues, family issues, schooling, jobs, religions, geography, war, peace, and more!

    This was voted a favorite for Gp. ! You can make a timeline or sequence using templates or your making your own. There are tools to display the timeline in different visual formats. You can add background pictures, sound and music, photos, and links, too. Links can include Google Earth and files from other Google sites. Easy to use!
