FileMaker Pro is an excellent software to become familiar with as a future history teacher. It provides not only an organization tool, perfect to outline historical dates, but also can allow for quick corrections if a project is incorrect. It can serve as a helpful tool in an history class because it can organize different dates inputted into its catalog. It can be used to highlight events as well, if a timeline is not used, to illustrate order of events.
The program is also easily accessible for students. It is not as well known as word or excel but seems very simple to use and easy to navigate. Students can also use the software to build their own timeline of events. The resource could prove to be a highly useful tool in a classroom.
