Editor's Notes
- Narration: How to Travel Through Animaps: an introduction to Animaps mapping program. Presented by Becky Shelton, Jennifer Burch and Michelle Newell – graduate students at Austin Peay State University.
- Narration: Animaps is a great mapping tool that will turn ordinary Google maps into something exciting and beautiful. Animaps lets you add animations that include routes, images, waypoints, texts and more. It is simple and fun to use.
- Narration: Animaps is pretty simple to use and they have created a simple to follow tutorial for beginners to get started. The tutorial is located right on their website so we can get there simply from going to the address www.Animaps.com from your internet browser. Here you just click on the Basics Tutorial button and sit back and watch!
- Narration: After providing students with an Animap tutorial, the teacher can then assign research projects to the students that will utilize the program. An example research project could be to research significant Civil War events in Tennessee’s history and map them using animaps. The animated map will have to include set requirements. Some examples of set requirements could be that they: Must include no less than 10 events, arranged sequentially, and each stop of tour must include visual representation as well as textual explanation of event and its significance
- Narration:Animaps can be an incredibly useful tool for educators. It is an interesting way to display historical events, geographical locations, even timelines. Animaps is an excellent visual literacy tool that can excite students about many subjects that might be somewhat boring when left to the usual format. By incorporating visual literacy tools, such as Animaps, teachers can also address the needs of all their students, whether they are auditory or visual learners.
