CALL and its Development History
1. Search Engine
In order to do an internet research we need reliable tools to search for abundant information in the Internet. The tool to do so is normally known as 'search engines'. The 'Search Engine' is a web-based software that is designed to search for information in the Internet. People today rely heavily on search engines to find information they want. This is because by using search engines people can find almost any kind of information, food, drink, direction, job vacancies, sales etc. The most popular search engines today is google (eBizMBA, 2014), probably not a single internet user not knowing what google is. But is it only google that we can rely on to find information on the Internet? Of course not. The following is a website that list many other websites that can be useful for internet research :

3. How to use Timeline to support Teaching
Once we can make timeline and r teach our students to make timelines. Then the next think to to consider for teachers are how they can use the timeline to support their teaching.
Using Timelines to Enhance Comprehension
Educators may find timelines a useful strategy for a variety of educational purposes. They can be used to record events from a story or a history lesson in a sequential format. They can help students keep events in chronological order as they write summaries. But most important of all, they can also provide comprehension support to English language learners (ELLs), helping them make connections and recognize patterns in a series or process. Because numerical markers such as hours, years, days or months are placed apart with plenty of space in between, timelines can appear visually less complex than pure text, helping ELLs more easily relate events to their corresponding times. Both educators and parents can use timelines to help students organize information in a chronological sequence so that they can better understand growth, change, recurring events, cause and effect, and key events of historical, social, and scientific significance (Moline, 1995).Suggested Activities
Early Elementary Grades (K-2)- Timelines can be introduced to help ELLs understand chronological events while they are gaining English vocabulary to expand their oral and written skills.
- Students can create simple timelines in which they describe a day in their life, or they can describe what happened in a story they just heard or read.
- Younger children might use visual images or drawings to represent events.
- Timelines can be used at these grade levels to ensure that students have an in-depth understanding of chronological events in social studies, science and language arts.
- At this level, timelines can represent more complex ideas. They should include complete sentences, with detailed information for each event.
