  1. Bookmapping: Integrating Reading with GIS Technology Terence W. Cavanaugh, University of North Florida, Jacksonville tcavanau@unf.edu www.drscavanaugh.org www.unf.edu/~tcavanau

  2. GIS and Reading • Geographic Information Systems • A mapping system that uses computers to collect, store, manipulate, analyze, and display data. • Reading • The cognitive process of understanding a written linguistic message • Literacy • Most often, applied to written communication; however, it can include other forms: media literacy, technology literacy.

  3. Standards • The use of these GIS tools applied to reading will assist the student in the performance in a variety of standards. • Florida’s Language Arts (FL DOE 2007) • implementing a variety of strategies to comprehend text (LA910.13), • applying a research process for the collection process for collecting, processing and presenting (LA.3.6.2), • developing technology skills for using and understanding tools, materials and processes (LA.7.6.4) • National Education Technology Standards for Students ISTE’s (2007) • Communication and Collaboration (2) • Research and Information Fluency (3)

  4. Multidisciplinary Strategy • Reading • Geography • History • Science • Technology Research shows that when students use geographic maps as adjuncts to text, they recall more text information than they would if they studied the text alone (Vekiri 2002).

  5. Active/Interactive Maps (not passive) • Google Books:Jules Vern’s Around the World in 80 Dayshttp://books.google.com/books?id=2_OflXjThdIC

  6. Active/Interactive Maps (not passive) • Google Books:9/11 Commission Reporthttp://books.google.com/books?id=JufWziTyNnIC

  8. Active/Interactive Maps (not passive) • Google Books:Hugh Murray’s The Travels of Marco Polohttp://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC02715307

  9. Text and Maps • Gutenkarte (http://gutenkarte.org/) • creates maps by downloading public domain texts, and then extracts and return geographic locations found within the text (also give you the whole text) Pride and Prejudice

  10. Collaborative Mapping • Web 2.0 - collaborate online or in person to develop interactive maps. • EditGrid (www.editgrid.com) • online spreadsheet tool that can plot Long & Lat data onto maps. Alex Rider #1: Stormbreaker

  11. Google Lit Trips • Google Lit Trips (http://www.googlelittrips.com/) by Jerome Burg and Matthew Hart integrates Google Earth with the English curriculum. • Currently has 16 trips, including Grapes of Wrath. • Download KMZ file and use with Google Earth (free)

  14. Classroom Literature Mapping Activities • Story Map • Effect Story Map • Comparison Map • Reading Map • Area Reading Map

  15. How to use the maps… • Students can create their own maps, placing their virtual map pins on a map. • With virtual map pins: • add quotes about from the book • facts about the location, • add multimedia elements For today’s student, every part of their personal life is inundated with multimedia, and it can be used to better hold the students attention or focus in the classroom (Reeves 1998).

  16. Classroom Literature Mapping Activities • Story Map • Follow the storyline and plot by placing the virtual map pins on the map to show locations in the story.

  17. Classroom Literature Mapping Activities • Reading Map • Create a chart of the setting or location of stories read by an individual or by a class. • Area Reading Map • Develop a collection or genre of books, then identify their associated locations and place them on a map .

  18. Classroom Literature Mapping Activities • Comparison Map • Chart the student’s actual location in relation to the story’s location.

  19. Making a Map with Google Maps It’s as easy as click and place. • Start by logging in or registering with Google Maps. • Select the tab “My Maps” and then select the option to create a new map. • Move the map to the general location identified from the reading that you want to mark and zoom in using the screen tools. • Use the mouse pointer to select the Map Pin tool, then click on the map where you want the map pin to be located (it’s ok if it is a little off at first, you can move the pin anytime you wish (only the correct login can change the map). In addition to the map pin, it is possible to add a line or a shape. • As soon as the map pin is placed a pop-up box will appear for content to be added. Give the map pin a name and then add some content to the description box. This content could be a quote from the book or even a link to a picture or video online. • Once the description is set select the OK button. Now whenever the map point is selected the new content will be displayed.

  20. Google Maps to Google Earth • Open Google Map page. • Select link for View in Google Earth • Save KML file (keyhole markup language) • Open KML in Google Earth

  21. “We create a geographical simulation of stories we hear“ (read) Made to Stick
