  • I have never used TimelineJS, but I have used timetoast.com for students to create annotated timelines. Years ago, I had my World I students create an annotated timeline about ancient and classical Greece, including 5 events that they thought were the most significant. Students were required to write an 'ID' essentially with a topic sentence, a description of the event, and the significance. I think this would be a good review idea for my AP World students for the AP Exam, in which I would have students pick 10 events from the year, or from each time period to select as the most important in groups. I have also dabbled with ArcGIS however, I prefer GoogleMaps to create annotated maps.
