I hope you guys have a lot fun and share my passion for maps when doing your homework for next Wednesday after camp.
I'd like you to really explore googlemapsmania for at least half an hour until you find a map you think is really cool and interesting to share with the class. I'd like you to focus your search on maps that use complex geographical information systems data to tell us something important about about human activities. (Minecraft maps don't quite meet this criterion).
Here are links to some of the cooler maps from today:
ISIS Taking Over Iraq
US Minimum Wage Map
Banana Supply Chain Map
Militarization of US Police Forces Map
NYC Citibike Map
NYC Citibike Injury Density Map
Global Air Pollution Map
And I forgot to show you this global (scale out--it's not just the US) earthquakes map!
Also, be sure to read, annotate, outline, and upload Barron's Chapter 1 to Google Drive.
