Join this interactive session to discover what the Overlays features within Digimap for Schools can do. We will investigate GB grid references as well as look at the physical and human geography elements available in Overlays such as volcanos, tectonics and biomes. By exploring the climate information Overlay, we will also look at warming and precipitation on a global scale.
The session is ideal for new users to get an idea of one of many elements of the Digimap for Schools product, 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.
