Although I write a lot about Google Earth and Google Maps, digital mapping is about more than just using those tools. In fact, there are some great non-Google digital mapping tools that students can use to create things like historical map overlays, combinations of maps and timelines, and map-based stories.
In this digital cartography playlist you’ll find 48 video tutorials I’ve made that cover more than just Google Maps and Earth. In the playlist, you’ll find tutorials on things like NatGeo Mapmaker, Felt Maps, USGS map tools, creating animated maps, and much more. Some highlights from the playlist are embedded below.
