Aprendi muito e sobretudo fiquei com muita vontade de aprender a construir este tipo de material e aprender o suficiente para ensinar os meus alunos. Muito interessante.
This course helped me understand that map storytelling is not only about using digital maps, but about combining storytelling, location, and multimedia to create meaningful learning experiences. It highlights how place-based narratives can support critical thinking and engagement in the classroom. Overall, map storytelling offers a powerful way to help students better understand real-world contexts through interactive and creative learning.
