This repo is the hub for connecting various materials from both within and outside of Maptime for the purpose of creating a curriculum to be used at Maptime or other educational institutions.
At Maptime, we don't want to just TELL people about maps, we want to give them an opportunity to get their hands dirty working with mapping technologies…all within about 60-90 minutes of classtime, with room for introductions at the beginning!

Creating both a curriculum and lesson should follow a similar set of steps.
1. Identify Learning Objectives / Outcomes What is it that you want students to walk away with? Be as specific as you can!
2. Outline Once you've identified what students need to know, create an outline of what to cover. If you're doing a lesson outline, it can be a good idea to include time estimates for each part.
3. Flesh out your outline with content Want to watch a video? Or do you want to create your own presentation? No matter what your preference is, once your outline is done, it's content time!
For each lesson, create a markdown page within this repo. Right now we're focused on putting together beginner lessons and organizational instruction. Please put your markdown page in the appropriate folder (0_organizational and 1_beginner).
Each lesson page should include the following:
