Wikipedia defines a timeline as a kind of graphic design showing a long bar labeled with dates alongside itself and (usually) events labeled on points where they would have happened. Here are some tools educators can use to create timelines:
1. Capzles- Quite simply one of the nicest timeline creation sites around, with a beautiful user interface as well as the ability to embed into a site.
2. Time Rime - An excellent site with educational instance (great for teachers) that allows users to create multimedia timelines.
3. xTimeline - Share wonderful looking timelines with audio, video, and pictures. Very user friendly too.
4. TimeGlider - Great site that not only lets users create multimedia timelines butlegends as well. There is a "plus upgrade" in the works specificallyfor education.
5. Dipity - Create beautiful timelines with the ability to add video/pictures.
6. Time Toast - A bullet point centered timeline w/ text and pictures.
7. Preceden - A fun easy site to use to create interactive timelines.
8. Timelinr - A very simple to use timeline generator that only displays text.
9. Our Timelines - Create timelines by using preexisting forms (text only).
10. Read Write Think - Very similar to Our Timelines for creating text only timelines.

Emily,
I'm the founder of #7, Preceden, and I'm happy to tell you that we do support BC/BCE dates. You can also zoom out to billions of years or into down to minutes depending on what type of timeline you create.
Best of luck!

Another free timeline site, Our Story:

How it Works:
1. Make your timeline about anything
2. Collaborate with family and friends
3. Share it with whomever you want
4. Add your timeline to MySpace or your blog

Thank you SO much for this post! I can't tell you how much time I've wasted trying to find timeline software for my history classes that could handle BC/BCE dates. I'm optimistic that at least one of these will be able to do it. You don't happen to know offhand which ones can do it, do you?
