How I Use It

This tool is great for exploration of a location or place over time. Students get to visibly create a sort of timeline wherein they can see images of a (usually known or landmark) place. A plus is that it interfaces with Google which students are familiar with and there is also an app for Androids and iPhones which students tend to like.

My Take

Very nice interface in the way that mapping can be used as well as the accompanying images and could be a great jumping off point for further research and to inspire curiosity. This tool can be differentiated in that a student can either focus on one place or they can create an entire tour of an area and go deeper into the environment, change, demographics, etc.

An innovative means to explore history using mapping, imagery and text.
