I've used timelines for effect in class, but I'm trying to take it a step further this year. For my Introduction to HIp-Hop Studies class, I am using a service from timerime.com to keep a running timeline on events/people we cover in class. I'm thinking of having the students collaborate at some point, but I'm not sure about that aspect yet.
[Sometimes this code doesn't load... here's the link]
I chose timerime over another service called Dipity ... I like the features on dipity better, but I think the navigation and ease of use of timerime are better for the students. If I were dealing with grad students in a technology enhanced course, (undergrads even) I'd choose Dipity. I've learned to tailor the technology to your audience, not the author/creator.
Below is a dipity screenshot.
