Time Map
Time Map is a project of the Explorers Theme for Mágoulo’s School for the Spiritually Gifted. The focus of this project is to build a high level understanding of when events fit in overall History. This project is in the CHES subject area.
This project accomplishes this by tagging posts on the Forum that relate to historical events and time periods with Era tags and period/century/decade tags.
