TimeTrek: The Collection on CD-ROM, Windows Edition

TimeMaps: The Collection features maps covering:

• Ancient China
• The Rise of Rome
• The Fall of Rome
• Rise of Islam
• Black Death
• European Explorers

Combining maps, timelines, and chronological narratives, the maps show where events were happening and how the initial circumstances evolved into the end situation. See where armies were moving, borders were changing, diseases were spreading, new places were being discovered, and much more.

You can also turn TimeMaps into an interactive resource for in-depth study by turning on information points to access a historical narrative. The information talks about the links between places, describes the cause and consequences of events, compares the circumstances of different places at the time, and helps to build a clearer picture of the historical period. Plus, on each map of the sequence, you'll find numerous questions to guide exploration and enquiry, as well more challenging worksheet activities.

Teachers Notes are also included, and provide suggestions for use and full supporting narrative of the maps, as well as an outline of which Key Concepts are covered and which Teaching Activities can be used to teach these elements.

Two modes are included: the "Presentation Mode" that gives teachers a presentation tool to provide a visual overview, and the "Depth Study Mode" that allows students to explore a topic through animations, images, and text.

Great for illustrating the relationships between places and how they influence each other!

Recommended for ages 11-16.
