How do you use maps in your classroom?

Mike Weisensel

Let’s talk about maps!!! We have some cool maps in OER Project courses (that have superzoom capabilities). How do you use maps with your students and why do you use them that way? Would love to hear about strategies and the way you incorporate maps into your classrooms!

  • Just to get them started thinking about maps, when I assign reading "Communities in Afro-Eurasia" I display and walk them through the first step of "3 close reads" with a particular focus on its maps and images -  without even looking at the captions, what can they figure out that will inform their reading.  I want them to recognize that they do know something about maps before we even delve into them.
