Learning with Maps: Using University Libraries Resources in the
K-12 Classroom Teachers and education students can now access
classroom activities from the Ball State University Libraries
Cardinal Scholar institutional repository located at
http://cardinalscholar.bsu.edu/ or from the main University
Libraries Web page. The Geospatial Resources & Map Collection in
Bracken Library created several original lesson plans using
maps, atlases, and other cartographic resources. These lessons
are part of an online guide, Teaching with Maps: Lesson Plan
Guide from the Geospatial Resources and Map Collection, located
at http://www.bsu.edu/library/article/0,,54747--,00.html. The
lessons cover grades K-12 and a number of different subjects.
Activities from the lessons are now stored in the Cardinal
Scholar depository, allowing teachers and education students
online access to original games, worksheets, and posters to use
in the classroom. These activities can be used in their original
form or adapted for different ages of
