Terug naar school met nieuwe US History (America 250) bronnen voor National Geographic MapMaker

Jason_Sawle

De nieuwe US History (America 250) bronnen worden gehost op het nieuwe Educator Support Hub en maken deel uit van de 70 lesbronnen die je nu op de hub kunt vinden:

https://mapmaker-support-hub-mpmkr.hub.arcgis.com/pages/america250

Elke les wordt gepresenteerd binnen een Portfolio Instant App zodat je alle bronnen voor de les op één plek kunt vinden:

Dit is een flexibele bron die je kunt gebruiken en aanpassen aan jouw onderwijs- en studentenbehoeften. Bijvoorbeeld:

Geef les vanaf de voorkant van de klas met de MapMaker kaart en/of deel deze met je studenten.
Deel de kaart met je studenten en print de studentactiviteit uit zodat zij deze kunnen voltooien.
Kopieer de studentactiviteit naar Google Docs of Word en breng eventuele bewerkingen aan die geschikt zijn voor jouw klas. Deel de kaart en bewerkte activiteit met je studenten om te voltooien.
Deel de link naar de MapMaker video's om studenten te helpen MapMaker te gebruiken.

We hopen dat deze nieuwe bronnen nuttig zijn en we horen graag je feedback over de inhoud en het formaat. Neem contact met ons op over dit onderwerp en alles wat met MapMaker te maken heeft via mapmaker@esri.com.

thanks @Jason_Sawle Really amazing how MapMaker can help young people and their teachers to celebrate America at 250 years!!! @EzraCheruiyot Students being able to share maps, then edit and ahre exiting activities happening in their towns, cities, states and countrys will create incredible learning opportunities. I wonder how students in our countries might be able to do split screen research to compare and contrast develops across borders.....?

@EzraCheruiyot I posted a question and almost immediate AI response from MapMaker today =

Is possible to have 2 maps, side by side, one with the SE US, and the other displaying NW Kenya?

----Bot V said: Great question! MapMaker doesn’t currently have a built-in feature to display two separate maps of different regions side by side in the same window. However, here are some practical workarounds you can use: 🗺️ Option 1: Two Browser Windows/Tabs (Recommended) Open MapMaker in two separate browser windows, placing them side by side on your screen: Open MapMaker and navigate to the SE United States in one window. Open a second MapMaker window and navigate to NW Kenya. Resize and snap the windows to fill half your screen each. This gives you a true side-by-side view and works well for classroom display on a projector. 🔀 Option 2: Swipe Tool (Same Map, Two Layers) MapMaker includes a swipe tool that lets students compare two layers side by side by dragging a divider across the map. Access it from the layer options when a layer is selected. However, this works for comparing two layers on the same map view — not two different geographic regions — so it’s better suited for before/after or overlay comparisons. :camera_with_flash: Option 3: Screenshots for Printed/Slide Comparisons You can export the current map view as a PDF, JPG, or PNG file using Save → Screenshot, with the option to include the legend. Take a screenshot of each region and place them side by side in a slide or document — great for student worksheets or presentations. 📍 Option 4: Bookmarks Within One Map Some MapMaker Atlas maps include pre-set bookmarks — saved views that zoom directly to specific regions or features. Students can click a bookmark to jump instantly to that view. While not truly simultaneous, you could set up bookmarks for both regions so students can quickly toggle between them. The two-browser-window approach is the most seamless option for displaying both regions at the same time. Would you like help finding maps or layers relevant to the SE United States or NW Kenya for your lesson?

------I really appreciate working with A.I because of the question it stuck in at the end of his answer......I would definitely like help finding maps and layers of education relevant to Kenya.

Actually, it is possible to create a side-by-side comparison using ArcGIS StoryMaps. I've built StoryMaps that use the Swipe block to compare two different maps, allowing users to interactively view and compare separate web maps within the same storyunfortunately i couldnt share as a link here

While the Swipe block is commonly used to compare different layers of the same location, you can also configure it with two different web maps. It's a great way to present two regions such as the southeastern United States and northwestern Kenya in a single StoryMap for educational purposes. Perhaps, in the near future, we could develop a StoryMap comparing Kenya and the United States from an educational and geographic perspective. It would be a great way to showcase how ArcGIS can connect classrooms across continents, encourage global learning, and spearhead new ideas for international collaboration and educational development.

This is one of the swipe map that i did to compare

@EzraCheruiyot, remembered 😊 how ingeniously children use the Swipe tool in their projects! Although I explained that in history projects you can use it to compare old and new maps, and in research data layers, there are no limits to their imagination. You never know how one or another tool will be used... the last time in my class, using Swipe, they found portrait similarities of two historical characters! Children! 🙂

EzraCheruiyot

@ЛюдмилаМандруляк Its both interesting and also a skill that may not have been even mastered by skilled Geospatial or cartographers but if we instill to them sucha skill they will be able to appreciate such a variation on historical maps and new maps basically for example if someone is doing land use change detection swipe tool could be good for such a comparison.

Screenshot (611).png Screenshot (610).png The images above shows a flood scenario before and after flooding has occured using the swipe tool.When such is used to show clarification then i believe we are able to even convince the learners of the power of Geospatial tools @WilliamTarpai @ЛюдмилаМандруляк @Jason_Sawle

what did the children dohow I taught to use this tool

how I taught to use this tool (map) and what the children did (historical characters).

I ask: "Why?" And they tell me: "It was an interesting experiment!"🤣🤣🤣

we are often visited by unusual ideas 😎

Lviv lyceum students took advantage more expediently

an old map of the battle near Kruty and a new satellite image of the area where the events took place
