Make Digital Timelines with Sutori

Make Digital Timelines with Sutori

We work with timelines a lot in world history. Getting students to put events in chronological order and understand the causal relationship between them is an important skill.

Sutori, the company that bought Hstry Timelines, provides a terrific medium for making these timelines. Students can import images, weblinks, and videos with relative ease.

My World Religion students worked with Sutori last week developing a timeline of Siddhartha Gautamas life and the development of early Buddhism. Within sixty minutes, most had created a visually pleasing and accurate timeline.

Heres how it works.

• Create a free teacher account with your name and a password. 
• Next, create a class and give it a name. 
• Sutori generates a code for your class. 
• Provide your students with the weblink to your class and code.
• Students then log in with a user name and password. 

There are plenty of possibilities for Sutori in other disciplines as well. In English, students might summarize a story or the development of a main character and in math, students might show the order of a math equation.
