Re: Timeline Maker Software

In viewing the responses to creating timelines, it becomes an interesting
commentary on technology as the way to go. Teachers are always
re-balancing. In this case I could see doing Excel or Timeliner and
getting it up on the screen for all to see; however, part of me says the
kids might remember the rope and the Avery labels better. Figuring out
the best way to help our students learn seems to be get more complicated
each day. And, every learning situation is different, kids are diverse,
and teachers have a sense of the goals they have in mind. I'll keep some
rope on hand...
