    Wall charts are good for describing events in history. The horizontal line works great over the vertical line approach because it allows students to see the times easier from past to present.

    Too bad most kids at school don't have the same opportunities that great homeschoolers get. Nice lens.

    Very nicely organized with lots of options. I home schooled my daughter for one year (she's in second grade now) and see plenty of tools I would use if I decide to home school her again. Thank you.

    i enjoy timelines and still use them for various things. i use one in my family tree to give historical events so that i can see what ancestors would have been reading about at there time. nice lense

    I'm a certified teacher. Those timelines are very impressive.

    Wonderful! We used both the long timeline on the wall (when the children were younger) and the timeline notebook in our homeschooling.

    Excellent ideas. Children don't learn enough about history now days. My children are grown, and I still feel like I am teaching them history.

    This is cool. We have them in our history book, but making them lifesize and interactive is a great idea. I always love it when you can make something interactive. It makes learning more fun.
  • TeacherRenee Jul 9, 2011 @ 1:16 pm | delete
    Thank you for highlighting this important teaching tool. Timelines are fantastic because they help visual learners "see" the information in a different way than just reading it on a page. Timelines are a fantastic learning tool!

    hmm, homeschooling has always interested me and I always wanted to try it! never happened though lol, great lens :)

    I am a timeline junkie so I love this lens! In the first 8 years of homeschooling, we used the Konos timeline and faithfully added the characters as we studied units. Later we used Homeschool in the Woods set which is great. Please visit me at

    I liked timelines as a student and now as a certified teacher I think they really rock. I've never seen the notecard timeline...love it. I'm going to share with my teacher friends.

It's much fun.
  • SadieCope Jan 9, 2010 @ 1:14 pm | delete
    I once made a timeline out of cut up file folders. I cut them into narrow strips, taped them together and then taped them around the room, at the top of the wall near the ceiling - like a wall border. As we went through our studies, the kids colored and cut out little figures and we added them to the timeline. It was cheap, easy and effective!!! Great Squidoo Lense.
  • Kris Dec 29, 2009 @ 6:23 pm | delete
    I think you should add Guest Hollow's free timeline to your page - it is the one I use and I think it is a great free choice!

  • Joan4 Aug 10, 2009 @ 6:27 pm | delete
    I wish someone had taught me about timelines when I was studying history! I must be a visual learner. Time lines have always fascinated me. I used them to teach young adults about setting goals, and how a poor decision along the way could effect those goals! I sure could have learned my history lessons better! Blessed by a joyful SquidAngel!

  • Evelyn_Saenz May 12, 2009 @ 8:12 pm | delete
    When we homeschooled one of our favorite books was a timeline of history throughout the world. It's fascinating to compare what was happening with the Incas and the Chinese for example at any given time period. So often these civilizations are studies in isolation. Timelines helped us to organize our studies and make those comparisons.

    Thank you for illustrating the various types of timelines.
