Animated Atlas of World History |
   Computer map animation -- a great new way
to visualize history!
4000 year animation shows empires growing and countries changing.
History of Europe, Africa, and Asia from the earliest countries to
the year 1000.
Features:
- EDUCATIONAL--10 regional animations highlight change
over time. 45 histories explain where, when, and why important events
occurred. Works well with digital projectors for full class presentations.
- INTERACTIVE--4 animation speeds, pause, and replay. Click names on
maps to view and compare events in time and place
- Study the entire
world.Not long ago, high school and college history courses focused
on Europe and Western Civilization. Now, many teachers emphasize global history
and spend only about one third of their class time on European events. Our
software focus on all of Europe, Africa, and Asia. We offer you a global
perspective.
- Emphasize recent
history.Many world history teachers spend most of their course on
recent events. Some recommend spending about 15% of a world history course on
events before the year 1000. The quick 'big picture' focus of our atlas helps
when time is short.
- Look for global
patterns. Spend less time learning names and dates. Spend more time
understanding how developments like empire building, the major religions,
disease, and technology have changed the destinies of nations. The event
summaries that 'pop-up' when you click country names will help you compare
activities happening in different places during the same time period.
- Understand continuity and
change. Be able to locate the major empires in time and place and to
discuss significant changes which occurred as these empires grew and declined.
The 'period-by period' format of our country histories will help highlight
differences.
