Relive Historical Events Through Interactive Timelines

HSTRY is a free multimedia timeline creation tool that will work on a laptop, Chromebook, iPad or tablet. With a HSTRY account, you can build timelines in a vertical scroll format similar to that of a Facebook feed. To start the process, decide on a topic and upload a cover photo. To add events to the timeline, just click the “+” symbol and select the type of media that you want to add to your timeline. You can add videos, images, audio and text to the events. Embedded social features promote collaboration and engagement among students. Two features of HSTRY make it stand out. First, as a teacher, you can create an online classroom and view all of your students’ timelines. Second, you can build questions into timelines that you share with your students. You can also build in explanations of the answers to your questions.
