Geo Mapping: Mash-Ups, Interactivity, & Time/Place/Content Connections

GPS & Web 2.0
2.0 is happening everywhere
Second Generation of internet based services
Using technologies to create socially constructed information and sharing
“ Doesn’t have a hard boundary but a gravitational core”
GPS adds time and space to information, either synchronous or asynchronous

Mash-Ups
“ Mash-ups are websites or applications that combine content from more than one source”
Begins with a mapping program and overlays information from any number of sources
Combines place, time, and information
Provides for user interactivity
Examples of mash-ups

Social Networking
Combining mobile phones with GPS technologies into one application

GPS, Mapping, and Web 2.0 in Education
Instruction, application, and practice with these technologies needs to be integrated within all subject areas
Both teachers and students need to be proficient in web 2.0 technologies
What needs to happen:
Collaboration of SME’s, ID professionals, and educators
An examination of current pedagogy, curriculum, and educational focus
Training of teachers
A spiraling curriculum that scaffolds learning needs to be created and implemented beginning in the primary grades

GPS and Geo Mapping Projects in K-12 Schools
Projects that help students understand the world using 2.0 technology
Possible ideas:
Community studies, mapping with local to world wide information, history connections, virtual field trips, digital reports, research projects, field trips with integration of time/place/information, and social networking
