- 64. Peter Vujakovic All maps do a job of ‘work’ – they say something about what is important to their maker and what is not (what is left off). Map readers, as well as makers, also bring something to the process of mapping – they are not passive consumers of information. Each time a person picks up a map, the relationship changes. Some commentators go as far as to argue that any engagement with a map is a continual process of ‘mapping’ – meanings, ideas, and behaviours constantly come into being through encounter between the map and ‘mapper’.
- 67. Where do maps feature in your curriculum? When do you ask students to create maps? What is mapped? How are these maps created?
- 68. Tim Dunn
- 69. ‘… curriculum is not a physical thing, but rather a series of interactions between teachers, students and the knowledge to be imparted. The curriculum is more a human, rather than a technical, process. In other words, curriculum is far messier and more dynamic than the clean, ‘scientific’ process implied by ‘rational curriculum planning.’
- 75. Now it’s time to plan for more map work in your curriculum
