When it comes to timelines, the most natural use is for studying or understanding history. For any teachers out there that may be looking for ideas on how to incorporate timelines into their assignments, here are some lesson plans that might help:
Build a Black History Database/Timeline (Note: xtimeline African American History Month Group contains a list of timelines of African American leaders and influencers)
Cyberspace Explorer: Getting to Know Christopher Columbus
Using Timeline Games and Mexican History to Improve Comprehension
The First American Party System: Events, Issues, and Positions (Note: Timelines of Democratic Party history and Republican Party history might be helpful)
History of Automobiles (Note: we have a pretty good Automobile timeline)
