Elementary children can learn about maps, but what they do learn depends in large part on the background and training of the teacher. Teachers who engage in mapping activities often lack training in the technical aspects of map making, along with a lack of knowledge of the role of art, design, and creativity in the cartographic process. An activity designed to help elementary and middle school teachers integrate artistic perspectives and mapping is outlined. The workshop proved to be an effective vehicle for increasing teachers' knowledge of both map making and art and gave them an outline for a map making activity that could be adapted to any grade level.

Learning from Home (BDR) in network (online) and offline (offline) is indeed a challenge for teachers in its application. Inaccurate and non-varied learning methods are problems that teachers often face, especially in online learning. Teachers also have to learn to be more creative in choosing learning media so that their students don't feel bored. Online learning can run well, be effective and fun it requires motivation and also creativity in these learning activities. Creativity is important because creativity is one of the factors that influence success in learning. If teachers are motivated and creative, they will improve their pedagogic ability well to achieve learning goals. The activity, which is carried out in the form of a webinar and workshop online for elementary and middle school teachers, increases the role of teachers professionally in intellectual, pedagogical, and creativity which can help develop the learning process given. The results of this activity are increasing teachers’ pedagogic competences in the selection and use of creative, varieties, and interactive. So, applying online interactive quizzes become solutions in increasing teachers’ pedagogic competence in learning and assessment, project or performance.

In reading archaeological texts, we expect to be engaged in a characteristically archaeological discourse, with a specific and recognisable structure and vocabulary. In evaluating the published work of 19th Century antiquarians, we will inevitably look for points of contact between their academic language and our own; success or failure in the identification of such points of contact may prompt us to recognise a nascent archaeology in some writings, while dismissing others as naïve or absurd. With this point in mind, this paper discusses the written and material legacies of three 19th Century antiquarians in the north of Scotland who worked on a particular monument type, the broch. The paper explores the degree to which each has been admitted as an influence on the development of the broch as a type. It then proceeds to compare this established typology with the author's experiences, in the field, of the sites it describes. In doing so, the paper addresses wider issues concerning the role of earlier forms of archaeological discourse in the development of present day archaeological classifications of, and of the problems of reconciling such classifications with our experiences of material culture.
