I love maps. Maps are fabulous. Judging by the crown in the geo-spatial mapping workshop today, many of us remain fascinated by maps and the potential in using geo-spatial mapping in our teaching of the humanities. But anytime we design activities or assignments for a course, the pedagogy drives the use of the tools, not the other way around.
I envision this session as an informal follow-up to the bootcamp workshop on Tuesday (but open to all!) in which we share examples, questions and possible uses of digital maps and mapping tools to get a sense not just of the ‘how’ but of the ‘why’ of their uses. I’d like us to put together a shared a GoogleDoc or Notepad of resources, models, questions, and ideas.
