Dipity

Here is a web site that can be used to "fancy up" your classroom:

http://www.dipity.com/

With Dipity, you can create timeline... just like any other timeline you create, but this one is online and at each date, you can attach files (word processor files, presentation, pictures, even link to web pages and YouTube videos). Your timeline can be shared with others (who can be given permission to edit), and because it is a web site, anyone can access it from anywhere.

Now, I am not trying to promote this (or any) business... I am only trying to point the NELMS community to tools I find and that have been helpful in my work with middle school populations.
