Teaching Tools

The Brain

 

Get the ultimate digital memory.

 

It starts with a single Thought and grows more powerful as you use it. Think of it as a living mind map with unlimited space for everything you want, are learning or need to remember. Each idea can grow and evolve with all related Thoughts instead of being separated in folders or lists. Use TheBrain to manage specific projects or as an "everything in your life manager" to get the big picture on your ideas and find the right information in seconds.

 

 

 

Four Worlds of History Database

 

An educational outreach project sponsored by USC’s College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, The Four Worlds of History Database (4WH) is an adapted analytical model that distinguishes aspects of society – political, economic, social, and cultural – as social science factors.  The frame is used to illustrate relationships between factors; it enables students to compare societies, past to present.  The model focuses on determining lessons of history, evaluating continuity and change in the human condition, and applying its relevance to personal and policy choices today.
