An Atlas of Thinking
Educators foster map-based geographic way of thinking in middle schools and aim to enable anyone to communicate these ideas by making their own maps. Supported by Out of Eden Walk, Jeff Blossom, cartographer at the Center for Geographic Analysis at Harvard University, went into schools across the northeastern U.S. to teach digital cartography.
“Everything happens somewhere, and mapping ‘where’ leads to greater understanding.”
Examples include students creating an earthquake and volcano map in Google Earth.
