Instructional Ideas
- Have class members explore the timeline on their own for a flipped classroom activity, coming to class with questions and observations
- Assign to small groups, each tasked with following one country's role in World War I, as a research resource
Classroom Considerations
- Timeline automatically opens to 1916, rather than the period before the war or the first year of the war; have learners click the appropriate year if they are starting for the first time
- Small font on some of the documents makes the resource more appropriate for individual devices, rather than projecting for the whole class
Pros
- Navigation is easy to figure out
- Both map and chart displays are available
- Accessible help feature can guide class members when necessary
Cons
- None
