Events (time points): What are the times to share in order to tell your story?

Media: media could be an image or a video

To recall the image to the timeline, they must be web-accessible. Either copy the url of an online image. Or upload the image to WordPress (add>media) and copy the URL of that image. Or use DropBox/OneDrive/GoogleDrve. (Make sure their share setting is in a way that everyone with link can view the file.

Type :  you might want to separate different categories.  Create a very short list for your group. These are different aspects of your group project. For example, for Industrial Revolution: technology; culture; infrastructure; etc.  OR for Ancient Toilet group, it could be : Roman; Greek; etc.
