| "Overarching Question: How can we make informed use of new digital mapping information and tools? Maps have long played an important role in exploration, commerce, and politics. Today, maps can provide a new depth of information and serve as an interactive tool for understanding the world around us. Unlike traditional maps, MapPoint dynamically shows many different views of the same subject, allows changes in scale, and incorporates demographic and geographic information. In the tutorials students will use MapPoint tools to create hands-on learning experiences for understanding the relevance of maps, both past and present. Objectives: Students will gain knowledge about the types of information (geographical, political, and demographic) that can be provided by digital maps; Students will gain knowledge about various ways that users can interact with digital map information; Students will develop skills in using digital maps to provide information or solve problems; Students will develop skills in using a variety of map tools and features (finding locations, getting directions, and using pushpin markers)." |
