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!

  • Maps are super important in the classroom and a great resource! I use maps all of the time in my Latin American and Caribbean course. It's helpful when you are showing students movement of people, revolution, ideas, etc. There are so many interactive and online maps that are free! It just takes time to go through them all and find the right ones for your class/students. OER project has wonderful ones! 

    UTexas at Austin has AMAZING maps spanning centuries - it's a must see resource that is useful in any global history course! Here is the link: PCL Maps | The University of Texas at Austin (utexas.edu)
