Timeliner

I chose software number 4 which is Timeliner. This software allows you to create timelines using texts and pictures. I think this is a great tool to use in the classroom if teachers want to emphasize on a certain time period. Students can create their own timelines so they can understand exactly how a timeline works. Plus it would probably be more exciting for them to look for pictures on how they use to be and see themselves growing to the level they are in right now.

Students would be the primary users of this software but teachers could also use it. They can use it to explain the life of a famous writer and when were their most famous works published. We could also use it to explain the time of ocurrences on a novel. They could also use it if they have a favorite character just so we can make the assignment more exciting for them. Timelines can be used so that visual learners have another way to learn a material instead of always hearing the teacher talk or write it on the board. Having that software makes class more interesting for everybody.
