MACUL+Presentation

=Online Teaching/Online Learning: Skills for the 21st Century Educator= 1:00 to 4:30 PM • Location TBD


 * Scott Schopieray, Ph.D. and Cherice Montgomery, Michigan State University**

Do you ever look at a map and wish you could “see” what a place looks like or note special things about it? This workshop explores a variety of tools, including Google Maps, that let you do exactly that. “Map-Mashing” lets you "find a world of information, such as buildings, pictures, data, and music, that others have placed on online in GoogleEarth or other map services. We’ll show you how to find and use maps others have created, and how to create these tools on your own.

//What is Map Mashing?//
> Though today we are focusing on the idea of a mashup as a map, all data of different types can be digitized and concepts can be "mashed" to allow us to create rich layers of learning. Even if you don't think that a map mashup is particularly useful to you, the ways that map-mashing helps us to think about "mashing" other media are critical for our students, as these are the skills that will be demanded in the 21st century workplace.//
 * //Summer Vacation//
 * //Web 1.0 --> Web 2.0//
 * //So what's a mashup? (More than one source, varied media, creating a product that original authors might not have imagined)//
 * //Google Books Example//
 * //GasBuddy.com Example//
 * //The Fine Print//
 * //Copyright and you//
 * //License agreements//
 * //Privacy concerns//
 * //How and why might you use this in your classroom////?

//Exploration Time//

 * //Exploration Time// //- Use the handouts provided to explore mashups on your own or in small groups//
 * //Create a cartoon mashup//
 * //Explore Map Mashing Links// //(A lot of these are not map mashups, but rather, mashups in general)//
 * //Learn to find/save images//
 * //Place pins on a Google map//
 * //Find a YouTube video and copy the link//
 * //Upload an image to Picasaweb//

//Guided Mapmaking -// Our National Parks
We'll work together to build a sample map mashup using some of the skills developed during exploration time.

Building Your Own Maps
Take this time to work on your own or in groups to start building maps that you'll be able to use in your own classroom. Workshop facilitators will be available to help you through troubles or to give ideas.

Sharing Your Maps
For those who would like to share their maps with the rest of the participants. We'll also continue our discussion of using maps in the classroom.
