Dipity+Lesson

//**Task Description**// As a way to summarize some of the key events that you'll need to know for your upcoming exam, we're going to create a collaborative/interactive timeline with an online tool called, "[|Dipity]." Hopefully this will be a useful tool in helping you review and firm up your understanding of some of the key events in US History from the 20th century.

//**Recorded audio from class on Tuesday, May 27th:**// media type="file" key="castilleja2.mp3"

//**Each timeline entry will have the following components**//
 * 1) A brief overview of the event 3-5 sentences. In the overview, you'll write a short summary of the event and elaborate on the historical significance.
 * 2) Your timeline entry should have a photo (from the [|Creative Commons] if this is possible). I recommend doing an [|advanced search at flickr] and checking all of the Creative Commons options. For the sake of time, go ahead and find your images using google image searches if you'd like. Content licensed in the Creative Commons is something you could take a look at for future projects.
 * 3) Include a related web link and enter the location in the appropriate locations when adding the event.
 * 4) If time permits, embed a related YouTube video.
 * 5) Sign your entry with the following, "Contributed by: .... "
 * 6) Feedback-if you have time, please fill out this short online form about how you might use Dipity for other classes in the future.

Use your history text and online resources to fill in information about the different events.
