Some history and geography entwinement examples from South Australia
A
previous Spatialworlds posting focussed on the entwinement of history and geography.
This posting provides two excellent practical ways organisations have used
spatial technology to elucidate history.
The site allows visitors to interact with the map, locating buildings of historical interest and providing some fascinating historical information.
* The South Australian Virtual War Memorial
The RSL Virtual War Memorial is to be the definitive resource and repository for anyone wanting to research, study or contribute to the commemoration of South Australia's and the Northern Territory's socio-military history. The site contains an interactive map section which allows visitors to locate Memorials around the world and to read the inscriptions.
* The war journey via letters of an Irish World War 1 soldier mapped.
The spatial war story of John Adams - his story.
* Interactive map of Europe border changes over time
* The greatest journeys: Whilst on about exploration, here is an interesting interactive site which maps history's greatest journeys. This site is a great connecting history and geography resource.
* HistGeog workshop
Whilst talking about the connection between geography and history, I thought it might be worthwhile directing you to Geogaction, my professional learning blog. This morning I conducted a workshop titled 'HistGeog' where I presented ideas on how to connect the Australian Curriculum for geography and history. The powerpoint and the links to resources on the posting may be a help to those thinking about how we can entwine the two learning areas in the curriculum and in turn, the classroom.
