Spatial Approaches to the Past: Story Maps in the History Classroom
Saladin, Christopher; Crosson, Shana
History Teacher, v55 n1 p35-59 Nov 2021
This article discusses the authors' experience implementing the use of the online platform Story Maps, which allows students to create digital geographic information systems (GIS) maps of past people, places, and events and combine them with text, images, and other multimedia, in three different undergraduate history courses. The authors found that Story Maps changes how students analyze primary sources, draw historical conclusions, and communicate their findings. They suggest a path for bringing digital spatial approaches to history education more broadly.
