easy-to-use tool that can be used across the curriculum for creating time
lines of a variety of events. TimeLiner 5.0 has the ability for its
user to choose from 4 types of time lines.
The user is also given the choice to print time lines that view data,
list information, and view on one page or several pages. This will be an introductory lesson on how
to use this software program. The
