Blog articles as mini libraries

I've been sharing  information on two main blogs for more than 17 years.  This is the main one. The MappingforJustice blog is the second one.  Many of the articles highlight information I've been aggregating in the Tutor/Mentor library that I've been building for 50 years. 

Below is a concept map that I created several years ago to highlight some of the articles in these blogs.

These articles focus on issues like the climate crisis, income inequality, segregation, poverty, the digital divide, and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.  In each I've added additional links, as updates, over the past several years.  Thus, they serve as "mini libraries" that focus on specific topics.

Below is another concept map that shows the challenges kids, families and schools in areas of concentrated poverty face as they try to help kids from birth-to-work.

You'll notice that the issues featured in the top concept map are some of the same issues shown on the bottom map.  The goal is to create an archive that people from anywhere can use to deepen their understanding of issues, see how other people are already trying to solve those problems, then innovate solutions that might work in their own locations.

This concept map shows that planning process. 

While this information can be used to build systems of support for kids/families in areas of concentrated poverty, they also show an information-based problem-solving strategy that can be used anywhere.  

Do you have maps like this?  Please share your links.  Please share mine.

Thanks for reading.  If you'd like to help me pay the bills, please visit this page and send a contribution.
