Timeline Template
Jonathan Ketchell
If Sutori is used for all kinds of presentations, from portfolios to newsletters, from class projects to collaborative group assignments, it’s format makes it a natural fit for timelines. But what kind of timeline can you create? There’s the classic historical timeline, with dates and facts, but also the time line projects, projects which benefit from the sequentiality of a timeline but without the need to pinpoint precise dates. Below you’ll find the timeline template that can fit all types of content.
Historical Timelines
We all have the image in our heads of that paper timeline, yellowed and dangling in parts, displayed above the blackboard on the wall of our favorite history class. Up until recently, most web based timeline tools focused on recreating the paper format and transferring it onto a screen. Sutori has revolutionized the format by first flipping the timeline from a horizontal to a vertical format. While doing this, it has simplified timelines, shining the spotlight on content rather than precise set of dates.
Making it possible to add all kinds of media (images, videos, audios) and resources (Google Maps, PDFs, Tweets…) has brought timelines to the next level. While quizzes can be added for interaction and ‘Did You Knows?’ to wow your readers, ‘Forums’ take full advantage of the commenting system, making a timeline the place for dynamic discussions.
History and historical timelines are no longer a (boring) set of facts, but dynamic content you can interact with and dig deep into. Here are some examples but you’ll also find a timeline template at the bottom of this post:
Time line Projects
This flexible approach to timelines has opened up Sutori to other forms of presentations. In fact, Sutori is becoming an alternative to traditional presentation tools like Powerpoint. The history and social studies crowd usually attracted to timelines has been joined by all content areas and subjects, with English students creating biographies and study guides, math students demonstrating how they solved a problem and science students writing up lab reports.
Like any flexible and fertile tool, they are countless ways to use Sutori. For timelines or other presentations, try it out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
Here’s a TIMELINE TEMPLATE for you to use and re-use.
