Session description

See how earth science students used satellite imagery and OSM to determine areas that are missing from the map and at risk for earthquakes. Students were tasked with creating a 2- to 5-minute pitch to win a mock micro-grant. Students then added the missing information to the map to improve disaster responses.

Purpose & objective

Participants will brainstorm ideas to use Open Street Mapping in subjects other than Geography. Teachers can see first hand how students can answer and investigate questions like the one posed with hands-on mapping projects in their local and global community. This project is aligned with both NGSS standards as well as ISTE standards. This project was recognized by Teach OSM as a way to engage teachers other than Geography in Open Street Mapping. Students only need a chromebook and an account to access Open Street Mapping. Teachers have full control over student edits and best of all, it is free!

Outline

Students will be presenting their video pitch, how to use Open Street Mapping and what they learned through the process. They will share their portfolio as well as pictures of the Mapathon at the end of the project. They will show participants how to use open street mapping and how simple the process is. They will also show their process of how they decided on which area to map.
