Using timelines so show progress

Over the summer, I read this blog post from Richard Byrne (Free Technology for Teachers) and liked his idea.  Timelines could be a great way to show progress. While I am sure the first two he mentions will work [ReadWriteThink and Sutori (while there are paid features in this one) will work- Timeline JS I haven’t gotten to work (due to the publishing requirement).]

Make timelines a game

Which came first? Or in this game, did the event on the right come earlier,
later, or in the same year? You can import a file, paste in the data, or type.
LIke all ClassTools, you need to save the url if you want to edit at a later date.

Here’s a link to a sample I created. This are all made in
Classtools.net.  You can save and edit later and share with url or
embed code.  Here’s the complete write up from TeachersFirst.
