Negative Positive
Title: A mediocre product.
Review: When one considers the amount of data--photos, songs, animation, etc.-- which can be held on a CD-rom, it's shameful that this product is so sparsely outfitted.What we have here are some maps of Western Civ, and some questions to accompany them. Both the software and the historical material feel quite outdated and hackneyed, as if produced twenty years ago.Besides being unsophisticated, the material is classical in the sense that it overlooks the roles of everyday people, working classes, slaves, and immigrants, in favor of shifting borders, wars, and the like. Aren't we ready to teach our students better history?A big disappointment. They can do much, much more than this.
