Looking for fieldwork ideas? During this session, run in partnership with Ordnance Survey, we will explore options for mapping your fieldwork both locally and on your fieldtrips and introduce some apps that are available to help you. With Fieldwork Fortnight approaching let us help you to use Digimap for Schools to present fieldwork ideas.
The session is ideal for new users to get an idea of how Digimap for Schools can be used to support fieldwork, or current users who are looking to push their usage of Digimap for Schools and see where it can take them with their teaching. This session is for both primary and secondary geography teachers.
Digimap for Schools is an award winning online mapping service for use by teachers and pupils. With an intuitive interface, easy to understand tools and instructions, and no download or new software installation required, a teacher or a pupil can easily understand and start to use the service as soon as they log on.
Digimap for Schools supports cross-curricula teaching of geography, maths, literacy, and history and also enables teachers and pupils to gain critical digital and data skills.
