In a student's world of growing facts and information, we can't expect them to learn more and more and more. We have to help them connect the facts to more enduring concepts and "understandings." By elevating concepts, we give them the conceptual lens for making sense of their world. When we allow them to do this type of thinking, that's when the learning begins to make sense.

Using Maps to Examine Change Over Time in Major Cities
Esri has produced some wonderful resources in their storymaps. In digging through their examples, I found a few that I loved. Through using overlayed maps of the past onto a map of the present, students can identify how places have changed over time. The maps present evidence and students can list the changes that have taken place based on their analysis of the mapping tools. Great stuff!
