The trickiest part was helping them find the latitude and longitude—which must be in decimals—to map the events. I had found a workaround that involved looking at the long links that are generated in Google Maps. As I was showing this workaround to the THATCamp crowd, a Camper said that there was an easier way, if I would just use Google Maps Labs.

I found your timeline tutorial of immense help, though I still haven't gotten the site to work yet. I will likely create an assignment similar to the one you've described,hopefully that can merge time and place. Thanks for the ideas!

It could be interesting to use it in a class on the fiction of, say, New York City. @mwnau: I have seen the Hypercities project and have played around with it for an hour or two when I’ve had spare time.
