Discussion of how geo-tools and mapping technologies are being used in the college classroom to enhance teaching and research in a wide-range of disciplines.

I will profile UCLA's "Hypermedia Berlin" site (http://www.berlin.ucla.edu/hypermedia), a digital mapping project which allows students to "travel" through time and space over 800 years of history.

Topics include:

• Space-time tagging and annotation of maps
• Developing GIS-based databases, proximity locators
• Using google earth in the classroom
• Designing and using geo-tools for teaching and research
• Geo-referencing historical maps
