TimeToast.com is an excellent tool for creating online timelines. I thought this would be helpful in the classroom in many ways! One way that I would use it would be to post homework due dates. I think when you have a visual of when everything is due, it is easier to plan.
Below is a screenshot of a TimeToast project I made of my vacation to Europe last summer. You could even use this tool to plan a future trip and have other people edit in their comments, and pictures, and interesting websites to checkout about each city.
There is a lot of value in having an interactive, and therefore changeable, timeline. I will definitely use this Web 2.0 tool in my classroom.
