Addicted with #MapaTime

Posted by Kyung_Soo on 18 February 2020 in English.

I’m a student of Education major in English in PUPSJ. This is my first time doing mapping, and my experience with MapaTime is exciting and makes you addicted doing it. Doing MapaTime is actually worth my time. Whenever I don’t have anything to do, I do this instead because I know I can help with collecting data. I learned that doing this mapping will help find schools for emergency purposes. Unlisted schools will be found with the help of this mapping. I think this is my favourite activity in CWTS, and I guess I will miss doing this. If I keep to do this in the future, I guess I’d do volunteering. My professor said that mapping is also part of volunteering, let’s just say it’s an indoor volunteering. I guess if the data in Open Street Map will be updated, there’ll be more schools to be found and collected, since some of them are covered with clouds or unverifiable because of the location.

I would like to thank Prof. Olario and the TA’s for assisting and helping us all throughout the sessions. I hope to work with you again, thank you.

It looks like you did get hooked with mapping. You made it to the fourth spot on the OSMaPaaralan leaderboard this month:
