Superb interactive and animated Historical maps.

Timemaps are in the process of developing some outstanding educational resources. I have used the Interactive Map of World History for a number of years now, and have always found that it has had a very positive effect on learning. A number of Dynamic Maps are being produced, and I will stand by my statement “…without doubt the best software I have seen for years…” that I made when I saw a sample of their ideas, since then Timemaps have upgraded these Dynamic maps.
The maps clearly show change and continuity, as well as chronological development, within specific time periods. The popular Roman period is covered in detail, as well as the Black Death, with the units on Medieval Britain being released as we speak. The inclusion of information tags and boxes on the maps means that they can be used for much more than presentation, they are tools teachers and students can use for overviews and depth studies. I firmly believe that this team are producing the next generation of educational resources, no teacher with an IWB should be without at least one unit from Timemaps.
