"Really good resources" Ben Walsh, Author of History Textbooks
"Did the lesson with a higher class and asked them what they thought of it - they said, and I'm paraphrasing here, enjoyed the graphics it made the Black Death seem a lot more real, they enjoyed the information that came with the screens as it gave them more information about what they were looking at and helped their understanding along...It built on the ideas that we had covered in class and was a perfect recap feature and opportunity for new discussions. The notes that came with it were really good and did help me direst the discussion with points and facts that built on the questions that the pupils asked... From my point of view the maps have been great" Ian Marshall, Head of History Oxclose school
"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." Tony Fox, History Teacher and Chairman of the Durham branch of The Historical Association
"Really wonderful.. they really are very engaging, and I was also impressed with the teacher’s notes that go with them." Dan McDonough, History Publisher, Bedford St Martins
Voted no.1 Social Studies Website 2010: "a super-cool interactive and accessible way to learn about…world history. Using a map and accessible text, it starts at 3500 BC" award winning Education Blogger, Larry Ferlazzo:
"An awesome new resource that covers all of World History in engaging, informative interactive maps and a timeline... It's a new enough resource that they are still adding materials, but the Ancient Egypt page can give you an idea of what to expect--not just places and dates, but info on art, architecture, government, and (this is BIG) the legacy in the rest of history.. Easy to access and fun." Learning Lynx Education
"Really neat, thank you so much", iLearn Technology blog
"It's wonderful!" Mr Donn's Education Website
"I have come here to say two things:
First, I would probably do like you. Explaining context is very important, and high school History teachers, in my day, usually weren't very good at it.
Second, good job on this amazing site. It's very hard finding well-researched, up-to-date and detailed maps that cover a large breadth of human History. I have searched various book-stores for something like this, and now I found it here. Not to mention, for free.
Your project is amazing and provides the necessary concrete, contextual, view that is so lacking in other History sites. Thank you, and good luck" Lucas Caordoso, History Graduate
