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!

  • I love these maps that you can zoom into!  When I first started teaching I would have these map overlays on the overhead projector (am I dating myself???) and have always wondered if anyone had a program that could do that.  I know there are animated maps that do something similar, but there's something about overlaying a map that shows a bigger leap in time.

      MapMaker has a new version that allows users to zoom in and out, adding layers of information. They are releasing new versions every month. It was presented at the APHG reading session in Cincinnati.
