Technology in Education Timeline
Explore the interactive timeline for a brief history of computer use in schools.
For this assignment, we used a timeline similar to the the example given in class. The Simile Timeline Widget is a JavaScript based, open source timeline that was found on Google Code. We implemented it on our site using a default color scheme with a few tweaks. It features two zones that can the user can drag to move the timeline, one showing an overview of the timeline in decades, and another that shows the data. The dates can be clicked on to show a text and image bubble for each. The data is inserted into the timeline from an XML document to provide an easy way for the data to be created and managed.
