GEOMAT components Checklist:
For the full power of a
GEOMAT case study to be realized, two sets of intersecting components
need to be included. First is a set of broad categories of
substantive data that form an ecological whole:
- climatic and weather systems including the water cycle
- terrain and topographic formation
- changing natural resources distribution and utilization such as
movements of plants and animals both domesticated and wild
- population settlements and movements such as urbanization and
migration
- family establishment and reproduction
- political institutions' operation
- social institutions' operation
- economic instutions' operation including land use systems'
operation.
These
eight systems interact simulatneously at any place on the earth's
surface. Human individuals and groups are embedded in these
systems and act through them. Analyzing how these systems
interact to produce a particular event enables us to identify the
essential actors, human or otherwise, which have produced the event.
Second is a set of format categories:
- Maps which show the features of the areas where significant
events took place.
- Calendrical timelines showing the sequence of different kinds of
events at appropriate scales.
- Identification of specific events, especially landmark events
which irrevocably changed the situation being chronicled by the case
study.
- Biographies, accounts, and images of human actors--corporate
group agents contributing to the sequence of events.
- Reports about and images of other actors such as plants, animals,
landscape features, terrain, mineral deposits, productive land use,
weather and climate.
- Arrays of archival documents, records of messages exchanged, oral
history accounts and contemporary images.
- Accounts of, documents and images from contemporary settlements
such as cities, towns, villages, resorts.
- Documents and images from archeological sites and records of past
settlements.

Themes of Geography: Location, Place, Human/Environment
Interaction, Movement, Regions (as characterized
in 1984 by the Joint Committee on Geographic Education of the
National
Council for Geographic Education (NCGE) and the Association of American
Geographers (AAG). They are outlined in greater detail in the NCGE/AAG
publication Guidelines for Geographic Education, Elementary and
Secondary Schools.)
Software:
Adobe PhotoShop--use for making animated maps, as well.
[Adobe ImageReady]--no longer supported, but you may have it.
ESRI GIS
Dreamweaver: to insert a picture on your webpage, go to
Insert|Image; to insert a link, type in the full url in the link box
after highlighting text.
Download a free editor to create your own webpage and to create Java
Applets: SeaMonkey
Composer.

-- interesting possibilities...
Exercises:
- Create an animated map: open a
layered psd file in Photoshop CS3 Extended; go to
Window|Animation--then add new frames and click layers off and on
as desired; set timing between successive frames. File|Save for
Web and Devices, choose .gif.
- Create an interactive map in Google
Earth
- Use placemarks
- Overlay a map
- Create a webpage: use SeaMonkey or
other wysiwyg software, or Dreamweaver (supported by UM)
- Link
to timelines (use these or create your own).
