About This Place - History + Apple Maps Place Cards
I love using Apple Maps to create lesson ideas for educators and learners. Helping learners understand the significance of a place and its influence on events merges important content design skills with history, geography, and cartography to highlight compelling stories. Recognition of place is a central part of the World story.
Besides the stunning design, 3D tours, Look Around (and getting us to where we want to go!) Apple Maps often provides additional information on places of interest via Place Cards and Guides. Students can emulate the Apple Maps Place Cards concept to highlight a location of importance. They can research the significance of that place and by using Pages or Keynote, create, design and build their own place cards to share their learning experience with classmates.
This year I was inspired by Black History Month Creativity Challenge to design a sampler for teachers around the theme of Black Health & Wellness using the Maps Place Card idea. I often wrap my lesson ideas into Pages, export as epub and publish to the Apple Book Store so that they are an easy download for teachers I work with.
About this Place, available the Apple Book Store, contains this lesson idea so teachers might help students learn, create and tell a story using the model of Apple Maps Place Cards or Guides. The book includes a step by step guide on how to create a simulated map place card on iPad using Pages, Apple Maps, Keynote and Photos.
The goal of the book is to inspire teachers to develop easy to implement creative learning activities on iPad that increase student understanding about the significance of Place.
