Abstract:?This work is an experiment on the implementation of cartography, maps and Cartographic Heritage in the teaching of History, History of Art and relevant courses in the secondary education, giving at the same time a ?technology? notion and reference in this teaching, since the map use is of central importance. The rich backlog of 17th-19th c. ancient Olympia?s cartographic heritage is used for this key-study, as it provides plans and maps suitable to support an everyday class-lecture in secondary education, in association with widely used material easily retrievable from major web sources like, e.g. Google Earth, Wikipedia and other well established institutional providers in the net. In our example we show how a typical History lecture can be easily and normally extended in associated environmental and technological domains, ?stinging? the interest for History of modern high school students who are addicted to modern information and communication technologies.
Introduction:?This work is an experiment on the implementation of cartography, maps and Cartographic Heritage in the teaching of History, History of Art and relevant courses in the secondary education, giving at the same time a ?technology? notion and reference in this teaching, since the map use is of central importance here. The basic concept of this experiment is that we assume as given the teaching curriculum about Olympia in History courses and history of Art throughout the secondary education and that the aim is to enrich the courses with additional visual material coming from the field of Cartographic Heritage given mainly, if not exclusively, by widely and freely available relevant web providers as Google Earth and/or Wikipedia. The target is that the student gains the sense of time and space through cartographic representation, with respect to the historical and archaeological site of interest, the sense and the understanding the spatial evolution of the historic subject and objects within, as they are represented on maps since the earliest available mapping and cartographic sources. Of special interest in this module is to promote the technological distinction between the map derived by field work and the map derived by scholar means, as it is stressed in the study presented here, addressed to high school history teachers and to students of 15-16 years of age.
