Some people collect stamps, it would appear that I collect applications (much to @natsyann’s disgust and our visa cards limit) but I just purchased Beedocs Timeline

Why Timelines?

Bee Docs Timeline is software for Mac OS X that makes it easy for you to present historical events in a way that reveals connections and clarifies relationships.

Make timeline charts of world history, family trees, fictional events or business deadlines. Timelines can help you understand and present history with new perspective!

The application allows you to very put together images and hyperlinks that look fantastic. The next step is getting my students who find it a real drag drawing timelines to create their own as we reach the end of our Civil Rights topic.

I have put a pdf version of the timeline on our moodle page at KKC The entries are clickable hyperlinks to the wikipedia articles as well which is a neat option. The next step is a downloadable version for ipods (fast becoming the most prevalent web browser at our college, those and psp’s)

But here it is as a youtube with some of my favorite Pearl Jam thrown in for good measure.
