My intention for this session is in part to engage in a conversation about sharing what types of tools have been used successfully or unsuccessfully with regards to mapping, timelines, and online exhibitions. I think, however, the conversation should also consider how to critically choose a tool that best supports the learning objectives and research questions of  the students. Each tool/platform has both strengths and weaknesses that need to be evaluated within the context of the goals of the class and project.  Often we get caught up using the new or the shiny but we cannot forget to consider the theoretical framework and methodologies before choosing a tool.
