This is the recording of our first Digimap for Schools #TeachMeet, held on the 23rd June at 4 PM.  

Due to technical issues with Darren's presentation, we had to edit the recording and add some of the slides afterwards. Thank you for your understanding and please accept our sincerest apologies.

Here's a quick rundown of what happened and the corresponding timestamps:

00:00 -  Darren Bailey from Ordnance Survey showed us practical ways to teach a range of skills to your Primary or Secondary students using Digimap for Schools. These skills included reading and writing coordinates, understanding symbols, comparing different maps using overlays, and matching photos with locations on a map.

17:30 -  Emma Espley, an experienced teacher and now freelance consultant, showcased her virtual multi-school event, 'Let's go on an Amazing Amazon Adventure!', which engages pupils with the geography and ecology of the Amazon and inspires them to fight for its conservation.

39:00 - Emma Diffley from our Digimap for Schools team discussed what we've recently changed about the service and what we're working on for the future. We asked the attendees what they'd like to see in future, and we're taking this feedback on board.

Thank you so much to our fantastic speakers, all those who registered for the event, and the Digimap for Schools team (Viv, Emma D., Laura and Sophie) for ensuring the event ran smoothly.
