Using Timetoast in the classroom:

 * I could prepare and publish a timeline for the brief history of Spain that I share in Spanish IV. I could also then make this timeline available on my wiki, and include links so that the students can research in greater detail. When the students complete their own timeline of the history of Mexico in the second semester, this would be a much more usable and enjoyable option than my traditional "bulletin board" timeline. The students will enjoy this!
 * I could use a timeline in conjunction with my year syllabus for each level of Spanish. The students could look ahead and see what's coming, or look back and review what we've studied. If I include links, they can also jump to review and reinforcement sites, or ahead to video demonstrations or other demos to learn material before coming to class--employing the "flipped classroom" model.
 * In Spanish II, my students create a digital autobiography. Timetoast is a perfect complement to this activity--the students can create a timeline of their own lives.
 * This timeline generator can also be helpful on a personal level. Since this year is my parents' 50th anniversary, it would be fun to create with them a timeline of the most important events--and then we can share this with family and friends at the celebration.
