“When I showed my students this website you should have heard the “OHS!” coming through the room! You know that amazing teacher moment when the students finally get the clear understanding and everything finally makes sense! That amazing moment that we as teachers strive for! I was so happy to have done this; I kick myself for not doing this sooner.”

The Glitchy Teacher

“I am a huge fan of the site, its vast resources and comprehensive information about the world. Every Social Studies teacher I’ve showed it to has been amazed by your site and I take every opportunity to integrate it in my instruction.”

The TimeMap of World History is divided into a Free area and a Premium area.

The Premium area is aimed primarily at teachers and their students.

The Free area of the site can also be put to very good use in supporting teachers of world history. It contains hundreds of maps and articles covering every period in world history, and every region and country of the world.

Premium Teacher membership

The Premium area provides exclusive Premium units, which focus on specific curriculum topics.

The Premium Teaching Units offer the following:

  • powerful classroom presentations, ideal for teachers to introduce or wrap up topics in an attractive and informative way;
  • great resources for students to use in their own project work;
  • engaging and effective tools for students to gain a greater understanding of key topics.

Teacher support

To support teachers in using the Timemap with their students, teaching ideas can be found in the Premium Teachers Area.

Lesson ideas contain activities and questions for whole classes, small groups or individual students. These are focussed on developing knowledge and understanding, and on fostering critical thinking skills. They ask students to – 

  • identify key turning points and major trends,
  • assess causation, connections, change and continuity,
  • and track developments in trade, religion, technology, government, and more.

We guarantee that the Premium units will let students understand topics better. If you don’t agree, money back with no quibble!

TimeMaps Premium - Ideal For Teachers

What does the Timemap of World History offer students?

The Atlas lets students view the broad sweep of world history, as well as letting them delve down into all the big historical regions of the world (North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, East Asia, SE Asia, and Oceania).

From there they can drill down another step to look at the histories of every significant country of the world.

The articles in the Encyclopedia give them the opportunity to dig deeper into many different topics in history.

All this allows students to explore different periods on a world-wide scale, or to track different regions, countries and topics through time. This offers a host of benefits in developing students’ knowledge and understanding of world history, including:

Broad surveys
Lets students quickly and easily survey the rise and fall of ALL the different civilizations and empires of world history.

Context
Enables students to clearly see how each civilization or empire fits into the bigger picture of world history.

Connections
Allows students to understand connections between different regions and civilizations, through trade, war, migration, mission and so on.

Cause and effect
Teaches pupils how advances in technology, religion, or art spread over the world, and how a change in one region affects others.

Comparisons
Because the maps are all presented in the same order of regions and dates, students can easily compare developments in different regions or periods.
