About Digimap for Schools
Digimap for Schools is an award winning online mapping service for use by teachers and pupils. Established in 2010 by EDINA, in collaboration with Ordnance Survey, the service is designed exclusively for schools, and today is used in over 3,000 British secondary and primary schools and a growing number of international schools. 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.
The service is designed for use by children as young as 5, and up to 16 years. Teachers and pupils can customise maps to tell a story – by adding pictures, graphs or climate information to support creative, engaging and interactive teaching and learning.
One login, accessible from anywhere on any device including tablets and whiteboards. Unlimited use at school and home for students, teachers and parents supported by learner-driven and curricula mapped support materials.
Detailed maps of Great Britain from Ordnance Survey and global mapping from HarperCollins and Open Street Map can be printed as PDF files and can include user defined customisations. Search tools include postcode, place name, national grid reference, latitude/longitude. Map keys are available for each scale map to explain the symbols used within the map.
