**Classroom Ideas:**

 * Each student could keep their own timeline of events throughout the year
 * An account could be created that has a universal log in and password and multiple students could log in and contribute events to a timeline (my students did this with Italian and German Unification in AP European History)
 * A teacher could create a unit through the timeline and students could go to each event and click on links to activities that explore the events further
 * Students could each be asked to create a timeline on a different time period or theme and share them to help each other review for cumulative exams
