Using
Antique maps to illustrate and supplement other teaching materials can be very
useful. Antique maps are much more interesting since they were published at the
real time that historic events were happening. And with their diversity they are
definitely much easier and more fun for the student to look at. They also contain
historic content that modern maps just don't show.
Each
Texas or US History Slide Show map set contains over a dozen antique maps that
have been selected to correspond to significant time periods in the historical
development. They have been arranged by time line from earliest to latest. These
maps are described on the Slide Show control page. The Texas map set has a simple
script included that may be used as a guide. It can be printed or copied
to a word processor.
The CD runs on any Windows® 98SE PC or later and is portable,
requiring no installation. It does not run on on Macintosh computers. This CD
will not run on Windows 95 or NT or on a Mac or Linux computer without
a Windows™ emulator.
