SUMMARY:Field Mapping: Engaging Students by Collecting Data using Street Surveys
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nField data collection remains one of the most important ways to collect geographic information. An increasing number of commercial applications rely on OpenStreetMap so adding pedestrian-level detail to OpenStreetMap yields broad-based benefits for everyone in a community. Field mapping is a fun way to learn about the landscapes as well as how to collect geographic field data which is used to produce maps. Field mapping guides students to discover new geography in familiar places when mapping on foot. The geographic\ndetail becomes more apparent when students have to decide what to put on the map. This session will walk educators through the process of Field Mapping which can be used to engage their students in collecting geographic information using OpenStreetMap. Students will begin to understand how maps are produced today\, identify types of data presented in maps\, and analyze spatial patterns in maps. \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels | Curriculum and Instruction | Mapping and Engagement \nConference Room\nFlannigan \nMeet the Presenters\nCelest Reynolds \n
