Maps have always been more than navigation tools — they are windows into the world, carrying stories about people, places, and change over time. But how do you bring that power into your classroom? This course guides you through the process of designing and setting up a Map Storytelling project with your students — from understanding how to represent our complex world on a map, to structuring a project that fits your curriculum, to learning from real-world best practices. Whether you teach geography, history, science, or languages, Map Storytelling offers an interdisciplinary approach that develops spatial thinking, digital literacy, and critical reasoning — all at once.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Explain what Map Storytelling is and why it is a powerful pedagogical tool
- Identify the key components that make a compelling map story
- Design a Map Storytelling project that is appropriate for your subject and age group
- Apply a step-by-step project setup workflow in your classroom
- Evaluate examples of Map Storytelling projects and identify best practices
