Emerging mapping practices in and out of the classroom
Download as PPT, PDF2 likes464 views
The document discusses emerging mapping practices both in and out of the classroom. It describes a geography course where students partner with organizations to develop maps, collect spatial data using GPS, transform existing data into spatial formats, analyze spatial data, and create web-based maps. These projects provide experience with emerging mapping techniques. The document also examines emerging mapping more broadly, looking at conditions, challenges, and theories related to amateur, informal, and user-generated geographic content and mapping practices.

- 6. ‘ GIS Workshop’ (GEOG448) Student teams will work with organizations to: develop hard copy maps, collect primary spatial data using GPS, transform existing organizational data into spatial data, analyze spatial data, and/or develop web-based mapping solutions.
- 7. Develop Hard Copy Maps Students will be able to update existing maps, or work with an organization’s spatial data to produce new mappings or analyses. Existing Spatial Data New Maps or New Analyses
- 8. Collect Primary Spatial Data Using GPS Students will be able to use GPS Receivers to collect spatial data in the field. Collect GPS Data New Maps or New Analyses
- 9. Transform Existing Organizational Data Students will be able to take existing organizational data (e.g. Excel data) and transform it into spatial data. Transform Organizational Data New Maps or New Analyses Feature Address 1 100 S Main 2 320 W Market
- 10. Analyze Spatial Data Students will be able to use GIS to analyze spatial data: demographics service-provision network analysis 3D spatial visualizations
- 11. Develop Web-Based Mapping Solutions Students will be able to take spatial data and prepare it for display on a website PDF maps GoogleMaps API
- 12. Partnering with the Community up to 20 students, offered every Spring semester 10 weeks of partnering Example partners: United Way and Lifestream (livable communities, childcare provision, service centers) Open Door/BMH (service provision, target populations/areas) Building Better Communities

Parting Thoughts re-investing in theory, postmortem towards ‘theories’, not Generalization (let it die?) mapping neogeographic practices what potential methods exist for heterogeneous data aggregation? what might mappings of neogeographic practices tell us about: digital divide, convergence, sociospatial segregation, visual hierarchy, collaborations, etc.?
