I am interested to learn from someone who is technologically savvy about the tools and methods needed for animating historical maps to show spatial and temporal movement. For instance:

I’d also like to discuss the value and potential of having undergraduate students animate maps in upper division history courses.
I want to create computer models of real-life social networks in history. My research interests have to do with educational, literary, and religious networks, but anything goes. If anyone else is working on that or interested, I would love to talk with you. I am taking baby steps in this direction and I want to explore issues of methodology, software tools, models of existing projects, etc.
