Jecca https://padlet.com/Jecca/ytc7clh5mpg2/wish/178227513 Timelines are visual representations of all our significant events, packaged neatly in chronological order--AKA our history. Humans have been creating timelines as far back as 1077 B.C.E when the Egyptians built an 80-foot obelisk during the reign of Ramses XI with the dates of the reigns of previous pharaohs. Brain scientists tell us that number lines are particularly important for students because the brain holds numbers in a type of number line.]]> 2017-07-07 00:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Jecca/ytc7clh5mpg2/wish/178227513 Wow!

A timeline tells the story of an event or process, stitching together moments, days and years into a cohesive narrative. Dates may appear to be unbiased data points, but choosing which ones to string together on a timeline creates a story that reflects the views of its creator. This link takes you to 2 interactive timelines about the Dakota Access Pipeline, both with very different perspectives.]]> 2017-07-07 01:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Jecca/ytc7clh5mpg2/wish/178228585 Ways you might use a timeline Jecca https://padlet.com/Jecca/ytc7clh5mpg2/wish/178229046
  • Chart growth or progression in science experiments
  • Put historical events in context
  • Show character or plot development throughout the course of a story or novel

This means that making an interactive timeline is extremely accessible for classrooms because by design, they are collaborative and familiar.

    Building an interactive timeline means you get to focus on 

    • Deciding on your narrative (the time scope)
    • Selecting the significant events (the dates)
    • Researching and verifying your information and sources
    • Bolstering your narrative with the right media

Create catchy titles (no more than 10 words), and summarize descriptions, with wonderful word choice and no more than 5 sentences. Use color to convey a mood or separate or connect different time zones. Finally, keep timelines as short as possible - make strategic choices about curation. See below for an example of color to separate time periods. ]]> 2017-07-11 14:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/Jecca/ytc7clh5mpg2/wish/178485876 Choosing the right media Jecca https://padlet.com/Jecca/ytc7clh5mpg2/wish/178486637 Everything in your timeline should support the story you want to tell.
