Community Mapping with Purpose

This morning, I attended a workshop at CORAH, Middleton. It combined asset mapping, community and student learning. Topics included environmental stewardship, life- long learning, economic and business opportunities.

There were six stations. At each station, participants were encouraged by Ed Symons’s students to update the community map, based on their expertise and local knowledge. The feedback will result in a revised set of community maps.

I arrived with my iPad and a hard copy set of my blog posts over the last ten years ( see previous blog). Quickly, I recognized that my interest in combining two technologies (AI and GIS) was irrelevant to the task at hand.

However, for any interested participant, here is the link ( ernestblairexperiment.wordpress.com).

Thanks to Ed, Jennifer and Jaime for hosting the event. I look forward to seeing the revised maps in the weeks ahead
