Already this week we have seen maps and timelines online, but there are even more sites to help you and your students create them. National Geographic.com has a map machine that is comprehensive in its mapping capabilities. http://maps.nationalgeographic.com/map-machine
If you want a more powerful tool, check out Google Earth! It is also a mapping tool that few can surpass! Click on this link to view a tutorial of Google Earth to see if you could use this in your classroom!
