Tony Hall's insight:

I came across something called myHistro a couple of years ago. It is a web based app that lets users create location based time lines using maps. Really very good, but students found it a little bit clumsy to use. I was so excited when I found Google's TourBuilder. It does pretty much the same as myHistro but is more user friendly. My students really like using it. So, I cannot for the life of me understand why they would make impossible to use in Chrome. Does this mean they're going to can it? I hope not!

Tony Hall's insight:

This is something new from Google. It is in beta testing at the moment. I think it is pretty cool and dead simple to use. If you are familiar with myHistro you probably find this a little more user friendly. 

 

I use an app called Ghostery to block website tracking. It is very interesting that I was unable to upload photos until I stopped blocking Google Analytics and Google +1.

 

Never the less, a user friendly teaching tool.

Really user freindly app from Google. Very useful in the classroom.
