Capzles Are Cool

I'm reviewing a new app for me that is perfect for the content we are currently covering in Social Studies and Reading/Language Arts.  The app is Capzles and it is for creating timelines.  Since we're studying the Events of the American Revolution and the genre of Biography, timelines are a perfect accompaniment to our learning right now. 

Since you can upload pictures, video and text, the possibilities seem endless.  You can...
-create a class timeline of learning that has occurred throughout the year 
-show progress of an individual's reading progress throughout a year by recording him/her reading at different points in the year
-keep a timeline of events (such as the important events in a biography!)
-categorize learning about big topics: example Astronomy (planets, stars, comets)
