Classroom Sessions (Geeking Out on Cemeteries!)
At the Association for Gravestone Studies annual conference, I lead a FULL DAY CEMETERY WORKSHOP.
This workshop was specifically designed to teach students how to use Map-Building techniques.
In this workshop, we used GPS Technology to develop a Cemetery Map. This workshop included a 3 hour class lecture with hands-on map building activities. The classroom section of the workshop began with a basic discussion of 2-dimensional topographical maps.
Using those 2-dimensional maps, we integrated a GPS data stream which allowed class participants to develop 3-dimensional geospatially accurate cemetery maps.
Classroom participants also discussed the latest in crowd-sourced apps which make cemetery hunting fun and effective.
