Instructional Ideas

• Have class members explore the timeline on their own for a flipped classroom activity, coming to class with questions and observations
• Assign to small groups, each tasked with following one country's role in World War I, as a research resource

Classroom Considerations

• Timeline automatically opens to 1916, rather than the period before the war or the first year of the war; have learners click the appropriate year if they are starting for the first time
• Small font on some of the documents makes the resource more appropriate for individual devices, rather than projecting for the whole class

Pros

• Navigation is easy to figure out
• Both map and chart displays are available
• Accessible help feature can guide class members when necessary

Cons

• None
