Feature Sites and Resources:

LA LIGNE DU TEMPS!
Students and teachers can create timelines using the Lignedutemps!

Design timelines or whole learning scenarios, share them publicly or between your peers, collaborate on larger projects.  With this tool "events" can also employ the RECITUS's growing database of images tied to the programs.  And finally, a print feature allows the timelines to be formatted for paper use.
