Mapping Song Lyrics in an Introduction to Geographic Information Systems Course: A Lesson Using ArcGIS Online
Tokosh, Joseph
Geography Teacher, v19 n4 p169-177 2022
Using geographic information systems (GIS), spatial data, and web mapping tools to enrich teaching and learning in geography courses is an effective way to integrate critical thinking and spatial analysis into the classroom (or virtual classroom). This lesson describes mapping song lyrics through ArcGIS Online. It explores how students analyze and visualize song lyrics in a GIS. While the use of music is secondary compared to the larger objective of proceeding with a GIS exercise, the relevance of music as a pedagogical tool should still be discussed. The lesson described in this article, while admittedly putting music secondary to GIS, is meant to provide an educational resource for teachers interested in implementing a music-themed geography lesson into their courses.
