Representation of global media scares- would be cooler if it was compared to actual deaths from the purported deadliness

Workshop resources and Inspiration files to use with "Thinking Maps", from Kim Bannigan in Wisconsin. Site says it's no longer being maintained, but interesting resources

An infographic resume. Interesting idea, and interesting to think about what other possibilities would be.

Representations of scale are interesting, with use of scrolling to reinforce it. (referred by CGS)

"National Geographic FieldScope is a web-based mapping, analysis, and collaboration tool designed to support geographic investigations and engage students as citizen scientists investigating real-world issues - both in the classroom and in outdoor education settings. FieldScope enhances student scientific investigations by providing rich geographic context - through maps, mapping activities, and a rich community where student fieldwork and data is integrated with that of peers and professionals, adding analysis opportunities and meaning to student investigations.

"Bringing Historical Census Data Alive! This site gives history students and teachers the power of GIS to investigate critical moments in American history (for example, here's our Great Migration map). Each investigation provides an interactive GIS map for studying patterns in historical census data over a period of time, a collection of historical documents chosen to help put the data into historical context, and lesson plans created by teachers and university instructors. We hope that this site makes American history more accessible to history students of all ages."

"Worldmapper is a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest. There are now nearly 700 maps. Maps 1-366 are also available as PDF posters."

This map features green connections and community resources linked to CHERP. CHERP is the Campus Honors Environmental Research Program at the Pierre Laclede Honors College, University of Missouri - St. Louis. CHERP is a series of urban ecology courses, a platform for environmental sciences research, and a home for transformative activities as part of the Campus Ecology movement.

"Gridded Population Cartograms"

for class "Teaching & Learning With Technology: Graphical Representation Tools"

A tool where learners teach a computer agent about a topic by instructing them on building concept maps.

"The CoMPASS project integrates two modes of learning science: digital linked text in a hypertext system, CoMPASS, and accompanying design challenges. Several CoMPASS units have been developed covering a range of topics in mechanics and enable students to learn about key concepts such as work, energy, force, acceleration, mechanical advantage etc. The principle guiding the design of CoMPASS materials is to enable students to see relationships between concepts and principles. Concept maps that change dynamically based on the concepts selected by students, supplementing the text in the CoMPASS system, help students to see these relationships. The design challenges provide students with a context for their hands-on science investigations, and enable them to see the interconnections between the concepts (e.g., force and distance). "
