Using Digimap with Primary Children Paula Owens 2014 GA Conference Presentation

Why use Digimap for Schools? The national curriculum for geography aims to ensure that all pupils are competent in the geographical skills needed to: collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes, aerial photographs and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps, numerical and quantitative skills and writing at length. (DfE 2013)

Maps help geographers to enquire about, describe and explain what places are like and why, how and why they are changing and how they compare to other places. Maps help geographers ‘zoom’ in and out of different scales of enquiry. There is a specific mention of OS mapping in NC 2014: ‘... use the eight points of a compass, four and six-figure grid references, symbols and key (including the use of Ordnance Survey maps) to build their knowledge of the United Kingdom and the wider world’. (DfE 2013) Maps help us talk about ENQUIRY Why use Digimap for Schools?
