Extractions: Teaching Mapping to the Computing Historian The issue of how much historians need to know about computerbased cartographical techniques is one which the workshop did not resolve. To stimulate discussion we present brief comments by three of the workshop participants. Mapping and Cartography by Jan Oldervoll This area of computing in history consists of two different parts. One part of it is what could be called presentation graphics. The other part is using maps as a research tool. The first is for the reader, the other for the writer. They should also be taught how to make the cartographic basis or to import them from other systems. In my opinion this should not be a very large part of the curriculum. Some Comments Gunner Lind Working with maps illustrates two general problems. The first problem is: you must understand any methodology to use it (even as a passive consumer), also in a computer environment. In the context of maps: understand how mapping choices give bias to the presentation. This general problem is prominent in historical computing because the computer can handle many techniques of analysis and presentation where such an understanding of methodology is necessary. (Statistical, graphical, etc.) The second problem is: The active user (in this case, the researcher who wants to make maps) must understand how to 'rephrase' his/her methodological understanding and practical aims in the terms of computers and programs.

Inside Back Cover These lessons have been stepped to help you teach and apply this material to the appropriate grade level for your class. How to Use This Guide The lessons in this guide introduce students to Census 2000 with high-interest, grade-level appropriate activities designed to meet your curricular needs. Students will learn what a census is and why it's important to them, their families, and the community. Lesson planning at a glance-Your Scope and Sequence (on the inside front cover) provides an at-a-glance summary of the lessons in this book. These lessons are designed to support your classroom goals, and are divided into three learning strands: Map Literacy, Community Involvement, and We Count! Managing Data. The Scope and Sequence identifies skills, objectives, wall map national standards, and curriculum areas for each lesson. Map, computer, and library icons allow you to quickly see which lessons interface with the We Count! wall map, and those that Internet offer special enhancements using Internet and library resources. Customized for your classroom-Each lesson in this guide consists of a teacher lesson plan and two reproducible activity pages. Because students in grades 5-8 have attained different degrees of mastery, the lessons in each strand have been stepped (one lesson aimed at grades 5-6; one lesson aimed at grades 7-8), allowing you to tailor your teaching to the individual needs of your students. Before you begin-This teaching guide is based on a unifying concept: The census makes a difference for our community. Before you begin using the lessons, write this concept on the board. Explain that information gathered by the census helps America learn what America needs. Extension Activities-Many lesson plan pages contain one or more Extension Activities designed to enhance students' experience and understanding of the census beyond the classroom. These activities often make use of the vast stores of information available at the official U.S. Census Bureau Web site (see below) and will make it possible to incorporate updated Census 2000 information into lessons. Using the Web site-The U.S. Census Bureau Web site (www.census.gov) is easy to use and can provide students and teachers with a wide variety of information on characteristics of the U.S. population. For example: Starting on the home page, click on "Estimates" under the box labeled "People." In this category, choose "States." Students can work with the data found on screen or the data can be printed out for easier use. In addition, teachers can access the lessons from all three Census 2000 Teaching Guides (K-4, 5-8, and 9-12) on the Census Bureau Web site. The Census 2000 questionnaire may also be viewed on this site.

"Map Power: Using Computers To Make & Teach With Maps" or some aged, outfrom-under-copyright historical atlases to make and amend my owndigital maps is absolutely crucial to the way I teach online world http://www.washburn.edu/cas/history/stucker/AHA2002.html
Extractions: This is the online revised version of a paper given at the January 2002 American Historical Association Meeting in San Francisco by Sara W. Tucker, Professor of History, Washburn University, Topeka, Kansas, sara.tucker@washburn.edu Introduction For a number of years now I have spent a large amount of my time teaching introductory sections of World History - a challenge that I enjoy greatly. Over the past several years I've also started teaching online classes offered completely via the internet - another teaching challenge that I love. Not everyone envies me this rich teaching life - quite a few of my colleagues consider me crazy, first to want to teach the bottomless topic of world history and second, to add the great complication of learning to use online computer technology. Certainly there are days when I wonder if they don't have a point. But usually I tell them that if computers are sometimes the problem, they are also often a part of the solution, and nowhere more so than in what they can do for confirmed map users such as myself. I've been using maps as much as possible for my entire teaching career, which now spans twenty-eight years. Since I teach every area and era of world history, I almost never meet a map that I don't like - and want to acquire for one or another teaching situation. I regularly use hundreds and hundreds of "filled out" maps both in the traditional classroom and in my online classes, as well as increasingly putting them online in various study and teaching resources web-pages. I also use great varieties of blank outline maps for student exercises and tests, and increasingly as bases on which to make maps of my own.
