Chronozoom

I mentioned ChronoZoom in an earlier post regarding its use for digital portfolios. I thought it might be useful to showcase the tool a little bit.

ChronoZoom is a wonderful timeline building tool. The interface and terminology takes a little bit to get used to, but with in about 5 minutes I made this really simple timeline. (The longest part was researching the release dates.)

With a little bit of research and some time, some significant timelines can be created, such as this one.

This tool has great potential to provide a 3D element to a students timeline. The research and presentation aspect offers a unique angle to better engage students. The next time you want or need students to be aware of specific dates, or sequence of events, try your luck at ChronoZoom, it is really fun to use.
