 * Pros: || Cons: || Possible Uses: ||
 * *Capzles is free to join. The user just has to create an account to create a capzle. || *Capzles is hard to manipulate and therefore would be hard to use with elementary aged students. || *The most obvious use of capzles is to create a historical timeline. It would be great to use for a social studies or history project. ||
 * *Capzles has lots of designs the user can choose from to enhance your timeline. || *If you add only a document (or type directly onto the timeline), it is hard to enhance the document with a photo. || *Capzles could also be used to teach sequencing in reading/language arts. After a novel is shared with the class, each student could create a timeline of significant events in the story. They could also use capzles to highlight events that relate to a particular character. ||
 * *Capzles allows the user to add multiple forms of media to the timeline. They can add documents, music, videos, and pictures. || *Capzles does not have a "help" tab to help answer questions that may arise. It is a website that you have to learn as you go and create. || *Capzles would be a great tool to use at the beginning of the year as a "getting to know you" activity. Students could gather photos or video clips that highlight important events in their own life. This would be a great way for everyone to get to know each other while using a neat technology tool. ||
