Abstract: |
In the present chapter we examine the potentials of general purpose software in history education. We start with a short reference to the MS Office tools, namely Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, and their basic functions. The use of the above for the creation of basic visual learning tools is essential because of the need to present information through multimodal and multimedia educational material as part of visual learning. Moreover, we refer to different forms of presenting information, such as textual form, diagrams, tables, lists etc. and the reasons for this summarized presentation of information in today’s history classroom. We also analyse the ways historical timelines can be utilized to visualize dating and periodization, as well as the use of mind maps in order to analyze causes and consequences of historical facts, both using MS Office. Also, we discuss the functions of MS Excel, in order to present graphs and process numerical data. Last, a reference is made to the transfer of the potentials of general purpose software online, using Google Suite (Google Docs etc.).
