Timetoast is a tool where anyone can create interactive timelines which can shared online. The website is free, and anyone can sign up for an account with a valid email address. Once you are a member you can create an unlimited amount of timelines. When creating the timeline you can choose your time span (years only), and add events with picture and text descriptions. You can also save your timeline as a draft, so you can continue to add to it. Once you are finished you will publish your timeline which makes it available to everyone. Once it is published you can view it on the Timetoast website or you can embed it in a blog or personal website, so it will remain interactive.

Teachers can use them in their classroom to show different dates throughout history lessons, or to show the birthdays of their students. The timelines can be a good visual representation of the lesson, which would appeal to visual learners. Timelines are a major part of standardized tests, so teachers can use these interactive timelines to help their students practice for those tests. Timetoast has many different catagories of created timelines as well that are available to the public for use. There are nine categories that the timelines can all under: music, film, science and technology, business, politics, biography, art and culture, personal and history.
