摘要:History and Geography as school subjects are inter-related in formal or non formal liaisons in European national curricula. This paper presents the case of a primary school from Greece and two secondary schools from Portugal and Sweden that collaborated in a bilateral European project under the title “Mapping our city monuments”. After the selection of significant monuments and bibliographical research, students organized guided tours using GPS devices and digital cameras. Following the field trips Maps Tours were created on ArcGIS Online, myHisto website and Google Maps, integrating collected photographs and data from the site. The use of digital maps in education designed by students leaded to the rediscovery of historical and archaeological monuments in urban settings linking spatial thinking to cultural recognition. Thus the suggested didactical approach promotes spatial citizenship and cultural preservation through innovative pedagogical practices.
