Timelines

[]

HOW TO CREATE A TIMELINE USING DIPITY Your next page will be the “Create a Timeline” page. Fill in all the designated blanks. The next page is the timeline view of what you just created. You have the option of viewing the timeline as an actual timeline, a flip book, list or a map. You can edit the entries by clicking the item. __Dates to include in your timeline: __ 50,000 - BCE [|The First Australians] - Aboriginals were the real founders of Australia because they came to this land thousands of years before white people discovered it. 1606 – 1770 EUROPEAN EXPLORATION of Australia 1770 – Captain Cook maps east coast of Australia and claims it for Great Britain <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1788 – Arrival of First Fleet, Jan 26. 1788 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1803 - Mathew Flinders completes first voyage around Australia <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1813 - Crossing the Blue Mountains <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1825 - Tasmania becomes our second colony <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1830 – Port Arthur Penal Settlement <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1851 – Gold Rush in Victoria <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1901 Federation <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1915 – April 25<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">th, Australians land at Gallipoli (WW1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1927 Parliament House opens in Canberra <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1939 WW2 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1956 Melbourne hosts the Olympic Games <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">2000 Sydney hosts the Olympic Games <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">2008 PM RUDD acknowledges Aboriginal people – National Sorry Day <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #70695a; display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">2010 Australia’s first female PM <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">

I would suggest opening another window or tab to make sure the correct URL is created.
 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Click “Add event” box under the video URL option.

 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Timeline: The timeline would be ideal if you have dates close together or a sequence of events that don’t have large gaps in between.
 * 2) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Flipbook: It looks nice when you have different pictures to attach with each of your links and encourages user engagement because you are actually flipping through the content.
 * 3) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">List: The list is nice because unlike the other options, you have the viewable link to the story – this could be helpful when replacing the “related stories” link within a story
 * 4) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Map: I envision crime maps or foreclosure maps. This is good when you have widespread locations but acts the same as Google maps might.
 * 5) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">To embed the timeline (once final edits are completed) click “Embed” in the right corner above the timeline box. Note: Your timeline permissions must be set to “Anyone” can view it when embedding – See step 4.
 * 6) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Adjust the dimensions to what your publication uses, pick a default view and color scheme and copy and paste the embed code.
 * 7) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Voila!
