Last Friday saw the first public walking tour for Auburn University's Civil War Digital Tour.

You will be able to do this tour off any mobile device or from the comfort of you own home, though it is of course more fun to do it on one of our current glorious spring days.

The technology used is an easy mix of Google Maps with embedded Youtube videos:

The videos were designed by History graduate students under the guidance of Dr. Ken Noe in the Department of History and with the technical expertise from the Biggio Center.
What kinds of tours could you envision putting together with your students?
