Create a free interactive multimedia timeline; Great on IWBs

Dipity is an online application which creates highly engaging and interactive digital timelines. Great for interactive whiteboards; these timelines can be used by teachers and pupils for History projects or to illustrate any aspect of teaching or learning involving a sequence of events – for example a teaching scheme of work, a revision timetable or a school calendar. Pictures, photos, charts, movies, sound clips, animations and internet links can be added to the timelines. The timelines can also be shared on the internet and embedded into documents and web-pages.
