Michael Sheehan 11 Feb 13 03:47:48 This site contains a huge variety of maps plus useful facts including demographics, economic data, and the history behind the subject of each map. Great tool for teachers and students.

it has an easy to follow layout that presents as a clearly labelled timeline of events.

Easily tell interactive stories

"Meograph, a relatively new tool ( released in July, 2012 and still in Beta form) is one such simple to use but still powerful web app. It sells itself as a "4 Dimensional Story telling" app. In a nutshell, it allows you to tell stories through (1)images/videos, (2)narration, (3)maps and a (4)timeline (hence the 4 dimensions) OR WHO/WHAT, WHEN and WHERE. Now this could be done using a variety of software options but what I love about Meograph is that the whole process only involves 8 simple steps, which I am about to outline for you using the above screenshot and some simple instructions. There is also a video embedded below that provides a demo of the tool."

"Martin Burrett 23 Jan 13 06:00:32 This is an open source and collaboratively made mapping site for you to use in your school projects. License just requires you to credit OpenStreetMap and you can copy, download and amend the maps almost how you wish. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/PSHE%2C+RE%2C+Citizenship%2C+Geography+%26+Environmental"

This is a great app for idea mapping, one of the easiest to use around.
