Line.do is a tool that makes it possible to easily create a timeline or timeline online and then share it.
Line.do joins the many existing tools that allow you to create timelines. I presented here a few months ago such tools as Timeline.js or Dipity. All of them can have multiple uses in the classroom, yet they serve as the basis for telling a story. A handy storytelling tool to organise an event from dates, episodes or moments.
Line.do stands out for its simplicity of use and elegance of the timelines produced. They all offer two types of navigation: vertical and horizontal. One switches from one to the other with a simple click. Free registration is done with an email or via your Twitter or Facebook account. It only takes a few seconds. You can start creating your first timeline. Each step of your frieze is represented by a green circle placed on a line. They are accompanied by a date, title, text and/or list of points to explain the moment.
Line.do also makes it possible, of course, to integrate multimedia elements. You can easily insert images and also sounds and videos from Youtube, Vimeo or SoundCloud. Practical.
At any time you can edit and thus complete, modify or delete a step, a point of your timeline. You can also rearrange the order of your different points by simply dragging and dropping. Line.do is finally distinguished by the sharing options offered.
We share a timeline as a whole by email or on social networks, but you can also share each moment of your story in the same way. We will add to be complete that Line.do provides for each timeline a code to insert it in a blog or website.
The tool is in English but it deserves a detour. You will be able to browse timelines created by other users to assess the quality and possible uses of Line.do without the need to register. One last detail, it is important, Line.do is free.

I find the idea super interesting! I even created a mini test frieze. I would like to do this with my third, on the subject of segregation in the USA. You say we can share our friezes by email but I can only find it via Facebook, Twitter or in code for … blogs
