Tiki – Toki is web-based software for creating interactive timelines that you can share on the Internet.
Go to the Admin menu in the event line and you can edit the title, description, the start and end date, background images, and more.
After creating the timeline, you can add the events from the Stories menu. First, you put the title, the date, and, if you want, the link to another site.
From the Media menu, you can add one or more own photos or photos uploaded to Flickr or even Youtube videos. In the Extras menu, you can write a text as long as you want.
If you want to classify events, you will need to add new categories before associating them with specific events.
The final result is a beautiful web page with a sliding timeline with the mouse and a calendar at the bottom. You can share all the timelines via an email link, printed and saved in PDF format.
In class, students can use interactive Tiki-Toki timelines to identify patterns, the link between past and current historical events, collaborate on a timeline to show different perspectives of a topic, or tell their stories.
Multimedia is assured thanks to compatibility with most audio and video formats.
How much it cost? Once registered, you create a timeline, which you cannot embed on your site. There are then several paid packages; some of them are special for school / educational projects.
Who uses it: Tiki Toki today is one of the leading platforms for creating timelines. Journalists of major newspapers use it as well as freelancers and teachers.

- Track a visually appealing chronology.
- Add video clips, images, audio, hyperlinks, and embed multimedia and text files within the timeline.
- Customize the graphic appearance by changing the background image, layout, time duration, and color scheme via the Settings tab.
