ABOUT:

Using Timetoast, you can create simple, clean timelines that are shareable, and presentable. The continuum of dates along the bottom of your timeline uses plot-points that can be inserted that enlarge when clicked. Each plotted point can be filled in with images and data specific to the history or narrative you want to convey to your audience.

Pros

• Creators can easily insert media (video, photos, audio clips)
• Viewers can interact with the timeline to learn more
• Spans of time can be added along the bottom of the timeline
• Can have multiple events at the same time

Cons

• Must add specific day/month/year
• Pop-up explanations can sometime be distracting
• Not much customization with the look and feel in the free version
• Does not print, can only be shown online

EXAMPLES

The example below incorporates images and text on specific events in the timeline and includes spans of time to show when movements began and ended.

Uses

Timetoast is a great tool to use when creating timelines for classes like History, Literature, or even a report on the background of your favorite politician or scientist, especially when you want to incorporate more than just text. It can be used as a presentation, or can be something you feature in a blog post or a group project on another site.
