Historypin is about bringing people together all over the world, from across families, communities and different generations, to see and share their history in a new way. It is a great online tool to use in schools both in the classroom and to run events and projects to get parents, families and the community involved in school life.
The online tool also offers schools and communities an opportunity to collaborate in building and broadening the record of local history and encouraging generations to come together around a communal history of people and place.
If you still don’t get it then think about the box of old photos, recordings and cine film your gran has and about how these would bring a whole new dimension to Google map streetview!
