ELECTRICCHALK

I was shown this ages ago then promptly lost track of it but Indiana Jones-style, I’ve dug it up from the Mediasnackers blog archive.

It’s a nice, easy way of creating timelines from a list of events (either type them in or import a CSV file) and then link the events to explanatory text and/or bits of media.

The results can then be viewed on the x-timeline site or embedded in another site like I’ve done here. SPOILER ALERT – if you don’t want to know what happens to Dumbledore don’t look at it.

I can see great applications in history but also english if your analysing a novel or play or even an author’s output. What about the timeline of a natural disaster?

Enjoy.
