Well, the next material in CALL 1 subject is about “CALL and
its development”. The project is making timeline about the history of CALL.
Do you know what timeline is? Timeline here is not like facebook or
twitter timeline. But, according to business dictionary, timeline is
line drawn on a suitable scale (days, months, years, centuries, and eons) on
which key historical, planned, or projected events and periods are marked in
the sequence of their occurrence. Other definition
of timeline is a graphic representation showing the passage of a time as
a line.
Timeline is useful for teacher to teach such history,
it’s like new face and new way to make your teaching more interesting. Using timeline,
you and your students will easily remember the important dates and events. And for making timeline, you can use

In my project, I used tiki-toki to make my first timeline,
but it was not too beautiful and interesting because I didn’t use the options
that are provided the timeline tool well. Yeah, I was confused at that time. But,
I am sure you can make better timeline than mine. And here is my

colour, shape, font etc.
