Timeline editor website in English language.

It has a simple interface, making it easy to create relatively impressive timelines. You can provide a more detailed description of the event, which can be opened by clicking on it, or you can add images and links.

Usage in teaching/learning

Timelines can be used in teaching any subject where an event, a biography, a project agenda, a sequence of steps needs to be defined.

In case of a project timetable, the timeline allows students to plan the stages of the work ahead of them, while still having a proper overview of the overall product.

The timeline is also a very useful visual aid, helping students to navigate between events. Making a timeline can develop creativity and critical thinking. It also promotes cooperation in group work.

Timeline

A timeline can be used for any topic where the order of events, the chronological order matters. We can use it when teaching history, but also when presenting a process or a succession of events.

For example, you can display historical events of a particular period with dates and inert notes to them with the most important facts.

It is not only for teachers - students can also create a timeline collaboratively when they recap on a topic.

In timeline creator apps you can use a variety of templates to make your own stunning and meaningful infographics in no time.
