Digital Mapping Platforms as Praxis for Teaching and Learning

This workshop is designed to explore digital mapping platforms and how they can be integrated into curriculums for k-12 and higher education settings. We will use the CUNY Digital History Archive as an introductory mapping activity to create a collaborative map documenting CUNY history. Participants are encouraged to create a free account with Open Street Map prior to the lab.
