<div>Hi building 20/20 list<br>
</div>
Last Friday I worked with one of my colleagues and
a high school teacher to map out some things on
openstreetmap with high school students! <br>
<br>
</div>
To do this we talked about what would work with the
high school curriculum, and with an OSM component.
We agreed to look at something with built
environments and some of the limitations people may
have accessing them. This class has some GIS
teaching behind them. <br>
<br>
Last Wednesday Rob brought in a person from the City
of Brandon to talk about what the city is doing
about accessibility. Then he gave the students an
assignment to capture if a building was accessible
over the next few days. <br>
<br>
</div>
Once they came back on the Friday I did a talk on
openstreetmap, some of the benefits of open data they
could use for school work, and how osm is helping out
across the world (HOT mapping, ect). As most of the
buildings were already there we didn't need to add a
lot to the map. The students used the same login
(issue with students having their accounts and
privacy) and used iD editor to add if buildings they
looked at were wheelchair accessible or not. In some
cases they building wasn't there, so I added the basic
how to add a building, square it, satellite alignment
and other editing tasks they might use. <br>
<br>
</div>
In the future we'll probably use field papers to do a
larger project (the field papers server was down that
day!) and be a little more ambitious. <br>
<br>
</div>
I looked over the data later to see if everything made
sense and the jokes were corrected (one student edited the
Robs house to be a fish food restaurant). <br>
<br>
</div>
Although small, it was pretty successful way of getting
secondary students into mapping with a guided approach. <br>
<br>
</div>
A secondary added bonus was city of Brandon provided data,
however need to sort out licensing stuff before adding
anything to the map. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Cheers, <br>
