An Atlas of Thinking: Mapping by Middle School Students

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.

New York Times creates an  interactive map to explore every building in the U.S.

What did they discover?

"We found fascinating patterns in the arrangements of buildings. Traditional road maps highlight streets and highways; here they show up as a linear absence."
