[HOT] Mapping with Kids

[Steven Johnson]

Hi Heather & list,
tl;dr; - Let's chat.

Since the beginning of the year, TeachOSM has been collaborating with the
American Geographical Society[1] to host a series of online workshops for
high school (but also college) instructors. The workshops are designed to
augment basic mapping training by helping teachers take the next step of
integrating open mapping to their curricula., The workshops also act as an
ongoing support service and forum for project development.

As part of this collaboration, we're pulling together a 4-part Open Mapping
Summer Camp for teachers. It has not been announced yet as details are
still pending. But our plan is to introduce and test the modules in the
TeachOSM for High School curriculum[2]. The curriculum is designed to
compliment the AP Human Geography curriculum.[3]

That's the gist of it. Happy to chat with any and all. Cheers,

SEJ
