One stand had a straightforward and practical Digital Historical Atlas with 50 maps and related images, animations, film-clips and text. It is not GoogleEarth-style 3D-rendered, but it would help in class if the information fits the syllabus and/or the interests of the students.
A sample map in pdf format is here.
Google street view as a teaching tool
Google street view is fantastic... but it doesn't always get:
- into a pedestrian area,
- into a castle's grounds or
- onto a prehistoric site.
This provider, eye-to-eyesoft.co.uk, does just that, with sites organised into categories, with brief text descriptions and with the option for placing on the Learning Platform for use as an image and text bank.
Before purchasing, it is probably a good idea to look at free alternatives, including www.worldmapper.org, which distorts world maps depending on the variable being studied: population, production, resources, etc.
