 * I chose Everlater because I teach at a school, which uses an integrated curriculum model and many of our “streams” have geographical content with which this resource could connect. **


 * [|Testimonials here.] **


 * Strengths: **


 * Easy to use
 * App for Iphones
 * Aesthetically pleasing
 * Helpful tutorial right on site
 * Great testimonials from users and tech reviews
 * Use Facebook log in optional
 * Trips may be set to private
 * Direct integration with FlickR, Picasa, Vimeo, and YouTube
 * Blog widget capability
 * Make your trip into a photo book
 * Already in use by EF tours
 * Created by young men who traveled for a year without an easy way to chronicle their travels; therefore it appears they have thought of just about everything since they created it out of their own need


 * Weaknesses: **


 * Only weakness I could find is that there is not a “designed for educators” part to the site, although there are certainly many applications for education


 * Opportunities: **


 * Available and accessible to anyone with internet connectivity, Everlater provides an excellent travel journal tool. Log (or Blog) your travels, map your travels, share photos, and more all within this user friendly tool.


 * Threats: **


 * Students could possibly view unacceptable content if they viewed “public” videos.


 * Ideas: **


 * Students could make a journal of their summer activities and travels for a “back to school” activity.
 * Students could make a collaborative or individual trip journal of educational field trips.
 * Students could create a fictional, fantasy trip about an area they are studying.
 * Students could pretend to be a famous explorer and “Everlater” a trip for their explorer.
