Zee Maps and Basic Writing and Beyond.

It looks like technology has finally caught up with me. I've wanted to be able to create a group map of the campus in which the students were responsible for writing, annotating photo-ing and researching the campus. All of this work would be uploaded onto a map program. I tried using Wayfaring, but it just didn't work quite as well as I'd wanted. I liked the skin, but as I recall, I couldn't have more than one person contributing to a map at a time. I'll check back with them, but I liked what I saw tonight on ZeeMaps.com There, I could select the degree of participation each person had on a private map, so that some folks would be contributors, other viewers. I think all of my students will be contributors, and I'll give viewing privileges to other faculty or student guests as we go along. I'm also interested in making it a private map until such time we decide to share it with the world.

Right now, I'm playing with the map program and creating a genealogy map that links the origins of my family. I'm thinking that I'd like to link this to a timeline in my Women and Literature class as well. Perhaps have the class work together on a group project of all of the writers we're reading.

Mapping looks like a great way to ground (no pun) visual learners when there' a lot of information to cover that doesn't lend itself to a traditional outline or list. The fact that links and graphics can be uploaded makes it just as meaningful.
