Timeglider is a data-driven interactive timeline application. You can "grab" the timeline and drag it left and right, and zoom in and out — much as you would with a mapping app — to view centuries at a time or just hours. You can create create event spans so that you can see durations and how they overlap. Being web-based, Timeglider lets you collaborate and share easily.
You can create timelines about the last
year of your family, the last century of world events, or about pre-historical
(bce/bc) times. You can zoom in to see ten minutes, or zoom out to see billions
of years.

The FREE version allows for 3 timelines for 1 user with 16 images. Might be enough for a project...each student would create their own account.
