History as an open door

To many teenagers, now is everything. The insult, pain, hurt, pleasure, fun, laughter of the moment dominates the student. The sense that the fun should stop or that the pain will go away is simply not there. Now is everything.

Which is why it can take some students time to understand history in its fullest context – as an ever changing evolving set of events.

History as an evolving tableau
in which events and people come and go, and in which these events (and the responses to them) are as real as the hurt and pleasure they experience… that is hard to grasp.

Which is why there is a need for interactive history maps – maps which change across time to show the patterns of activity. Maps which show the growth of the Empire, the spread of the plague, the invasion of the country…

The maps are animated for use either with a whiteboard or for hands-on learning. The combination of the maps, animations and hotspots means that they are excellent for presenting broad overviews of a topic, as well as for accessing in-depth knowledge and understanding.

In short, interactive history maps help to open the door
to a deeper understanding of how history works and what history means. They slip into existing lessons, are simple to use, and come with full teaching notes.
