My Take
Time Toast is a simple to use "timeline" tool that students can use to display sequential events. While simple to get going, it can be time consuming if you are including repeating events that all need to be inserted individually as the program does not allow for duplication or copy/paste options.
How I Use It
To help learners display their work such as historical events to highlight key dates/events and then to discuss those events within small groups to see if there is common areas or divergence.

An entertaining interactive website for creating virtual timelines.
Timetoast is an easy to use tool that allows students and teachers alike to add interactivity to the timelines that they create. It is simple to create an account and begin to build your own timeline, or if you prefer, to search for projects built by other members. Timetoast has a fairly intuitive interface and can be embedded into other websites without much trouble. As a teaching tool, I believe that it is very effective for visual learners as well as students that recall information better when they can creatively design the content. One negative that I have encountered is the time bubbles do not always show all the information that they contain, and it can be difficult to determine if more is hidden within them.

Pretty good tool for creating a "personal timeline."
This is a nice tool for creating a personal timeline. I like that you can add images to your blocks, however it would be nice if it adjusted on the ends so the time blocks didn't stack up. I particularly like that you can grab an embed code and embed into a wiki, LMS content block, etc.

A straight-forward method of creating a timeline of your choice.
TimeToast is fairly easy to use but at the expense of not being able to upload video or links to video sharing sites, i.e. YouTube. Not being able to create a timespan before 0 AD is also a problem for those of us who teach Ancient History. I can live without video, but not recording history before 0 is a big issue.
