Would you use an interactive computer tool such as the time line in this session in your classroom? If so, how? What advantages do the Internet, CD-ROMs, PDAs, and other recent technologies offer in your curriculum? How do they compare to traditional teaching tools? Which do you prefer? Use examples from your own experience when possible. Post your answer on the workshop’s Bulletin Board.
