At Stanford map libraries, we are often developing new methods and approaches for teaching and learning from maps. Although we primarily interact with college-aged students and professors, we find that the complexity of maps can intimidate even the most sophisticated learner (and us!) and basic map reading and analysis skills are the first step, no matter the learning level.
We favor interactive learning experiences that guide the learner to engage with the map. To look at different details closely. To let lightbulbs go off. To make connections. To ask questions. To be inspired.
