Map Resources

While these blogs that we are writing are an excellent way to improve our subject knowledge, they could also be used to help each other when we are teaching. When researching information for the chosen topic it might be an idea to look for resources to go with that part of the topic. These resources could then be used and adapted by each student if and when they need them. Just a thought.

Whilst I am gathering information regarding map work, I am also constantly looking for resources in order to back up the information and also make it fun and interesting to teach.

Using the interactive whiteboard, I feel, can be an invaluable tool in turning a lesson form good to excellent. Powerpoints, games, videos and quizzes could all be Incorporated into lessons where the interactive white board is available.

With that in mind, here is an excellent powerpoint lesson about map symbols.
