 Okay guys, I'm going to start with the map while I'm looking at the human geography around your own school But with a slightly different angle. So looking at those those those simple field work right there for exploring your own school grounds So we can do this around any grounds or any place in location. So I'm just going to zoom in on the Ornate Survey HQ So part of my part of the fun I had yesterday was going around the Ornate Survey HQ Finding things I could photograph and link them to the map to show a location in place around their own kind of grounds But I've done this with a slight twist guys rather than just create images I've done them at a slight angle. So it gets your pupils out exploring around your own school grounds to look at these places and these obscured Images I've got so hopefully guys you can see my map. I'm just going to make that a little bit smaller So what it is I went around as I said there went around collecting six images, but I took these pictures at skew angles so finding things that you can find around your own school ground so it could be things like your bike sheds or Your fuck your emergency exits Etc. Etc. Just to give your pupils the chance to kind of explore around their own school grounds and find these things So let's look at a couple of these pictures. So this nice green one here I'm a bit disappointed that Laura who's also on the call managed to guess this at the first attempt So I'm going to click on this one So from an obscure angle Let's have a look at this one. So does anybody want to have a guess in the chat what this might be? Okay, when you see this image So it's a strange angle of an image Okay, so we've got that one We've got one here Another one we can view as well So another strange if strange angle of a different a different image again around our location So it's finding those obscure things for your pupils to go and explore in their own locality Which is quite a good thing to be able to do around that kind of physical geography So that some of the man-made things on your school grounds So I'll talk you through what we got here. In fact, I'll show you my other map where I've got these all together So this time I can show you them. So there's a nice picture of the charging point a war memorial emerge the exit point Wooden bench here at the OS logo and the bike rack as well So I think of ideas to do that around your own school grounds I mean you can create or maybe you could get your key stage pupa to key stage two pupils your year six is to go around and Collect these images for you and then they can you can use it in your key stage one Geography as well. So that's one kind of idea using those kind of obscure kind of images to look around your own place and location And next one I'm going to show you guys is one that I think would be a really nice one to do with your Definitely with your younger pupils year one year twos. So hopefully you can see my map on the board So this one is looking at where does everybody live? First of all, so using your map to identify place and location So something you could do quite simply on the white board of your machine Showing a map of where all the people live and all we did is there all I did with this one was to make it Kind of a travel map. So looking at the different ways we travel to school So looking at how we can highlight those so it's very simply the red markers are market tools that we can find on our drawing tools Which I show here I've used these and we can color those in different colors So we've simply done this simply done a red one to show people that walked into school and where they lived We've got the blue one shows some people that drove into school and finally you've got some that people that rode in The school so you can plot these on the map show whether all these locations are and Link in a little bit of maths using a graph So we can make a simple bar chart to show these different areas or different ways We walked in how many pupils traveled through through that particular motor transport and show these all on a map So linking in a little bit of geography again around place location How do we get to school linking in your bar chart now with the bar chart how we create this is it's really just a JPEG image So within the service we can add images on our map so we can link any image we like now All I've done to create this bar chart is hopefully you guys have got access to excel. I've just created a graph and excel You can click on that graph press control and see copy it into something like paint and Then you can save that as a JPEG image So you can come back and use it and link it to your map So we can grab those graphed images like our bar chart etc etc and link that directly onto our map to show this kind of How do we travel to school? So you can make a really nice that last little map around locality and travel in and around your school grounds so one let's talk about next guys is is Grid references and grid reference skills So one of those key elements that came down to key stage two in the last curriculum review with a use of four and six figure good references with your pupils Now I'm all going to presume that you guys are all experts at doing four and six figure good references Okay, but if you're not we have a couple of really useful tools That will help you with grid reference skills when you're using Digimap for schools So I'm going to show you over on overlays so over on the left hand panel here We have a number of overlays and one of those that we can actually overlay is the British National Grid system So where we get these points and numbers and coordinates from so this is how it's created Okay, so I'm going to give you guys a very quick explanation of how this works Okay, as you can see on the map the country has been divided up into 100 kilometer squares and each one of these 100 kilometer squares runs from 0 to 99 along each axis and Each one of these 100 kilometer squares has a unique two-letter prefix to tell you where you are in the country So when you're doing your grid reference work with your pupils Not only do you need to know the four or six numbers? You need to know which 100 kilometer grid square you're in for it to be an accurate grid reference Simply because if I give you the grid reference 41 62 It's in every single one of these grid squares So you need to know which 100 kilometer grid square you're in for it to be an accurate grid reference So if you turn this overlay on on your map, and if I go and zoom in on the ordinance survey HQ again We can see on our map guys you get your six-figure good reference around your location So our along the corridor and up the stairs to find a good reference point But the key thing is well guys I've also got the abbreviation or which 100 kilometer grid square. I'm in in this locality So when I'm in around the on survey HQ, I need to prefix any grid reference I give there with that abbreviation of SU to make it an accurate grid reference So with this overlay you can always have that on top of your map on the screen So when your pupils are doing their grid references, they will know which 100 kilometer square They're in and which one to prefix it with So you can do that you can also print your map So if I come up to the print panel, we can also print with our national grid lines on So if you want a physical copy to be able to print out and use it that way you can use it that way So you've got that lovely overlay to do it Now we also have another option which you can find under drawing tools So when I come up to draw and create the second tool here along from our image is our grid reference tool So I can highlight that one put any marker. I like on it click on the on the survey HQ and It will give me the grid reference for that point So it means you can find the individual places and find the grid references for those localities So if you're doing places of interest in your location or landmarks Maybe you can give your pupils a list of landmarks and they have to go and find the grid reference for them Or alternatively you can give them the grid reference and they can search by grid reference Now the only thing to be wary of guys when you use the grid reference tool that we found on the drawing tool Is the more accurate the map the more accurate the grid reference will be So if you're zoomed into a large-scale map showing lots of detail you will get a ten-figure good reference So just make sure you find the appropriate scale for four and six figures Before you start to terrorize your pupils with ten-figure good references But it's a great these are two nice ways to be able to link in those grid reference skills Okay, using the overlay doing it as I what I'd call the proper way along the corridor and up the stairs or using The grid reference tool to find those places. So you can set yourself little quizzes around grid reference skills as well And while we're talking about the overlays that I showed on here guys I want to show you some of the couple of really useful ones that link in some of the geography key stage two Around your world geography. So look at it. There's some of the terminology you'll find in the key stage two curriculum So I'm just going to click on my map. So it zooms out to show you the extent of The world I'm just going to delete my grid reference off So you can see we've got two lovely views of the world if you haven't looked at this We've got this fantastic physical view of our follow-by's map showing the physical Way of showing the map. So we've got the Himalayas. We've got the Rockies and Andes What we're going to do is we're going to turn this on to Atlas mode So then we can see the outlines of the countries and their locations So you can actually use this as an atlas to find those on your map Okay, so we're going to bring in some of the terminology that we'll find a key stage to when you need to look at some of your world Geography so one of the overlays again mentioned in the curriculum are the major lines of latitude So the terminology of the two tropics the equator And we can also overlay the Arctic and Antarctic circle So we can overlay these on our maps to show where they are So then you can start to do some nice geography about you know How many countries does the equator come through etc etc so but bring it in that wording and terminology that you'll find in the curriculum Now one it's really good and if you come to one of my presentations before I keep going on about this one But it's one of my favorite ones is the world time zones and again time zones are specifically mentioned at key stage two Because it also introduces things like hemispheres Day and night etc etc and it links in some maths as well because you've got a maths element That you could use looking at the different time zones for localities so you've got this absolutely fantastic overlay for the time zones of the world and Let's go and find my time zone quiz Again guys if you come to one of my presentation before you may well I've seen this one before But it's such a good one. So then you can create quizzes based around your time zone map So friends is my first question here if it's 12 p.m. In England. What time is it in Madagascar? So you first a bit of geography inquiries to find those two places on a map So can we find those two localities? Then can we work out the different time zone? So we can count across the time zones one two three So we can work out that we three o'clock in the afternoon in Madagascar And then you can start to ramp up the difficulty if you wish to as well So you can start to save it's five o'clock in Moscow. What time is it in Vladivostok? And then we can see the vastness of Russia and its multiple time zones And what you could also do is you could use the measurement tool to work out the distance between these places So if we went from London down to Madagascar, how far is that in kilometers from those two points? So again finding those points referencing on a map Looking at the time zone, but also looking at the distance between two points in that locality So let's delete that one over there Now the other one another overlay we've recently just added Which again brings in some terminology found at key stage two Is the world biomes so biomes and that particular word is mentioned in this key stage two curriculum So we can actually view the wwf biome information for the world and their particular classifications So we can overlay that on top of our map as we can see here guys Now what I'll do is I'll just fade the colors back a little bit so we can start to see some countries Just fade the colors back so we can see them and then we can find out those classifications Okay, so up at the top here next to our print icon. There's a little information panel or information bum So i'm going to click on that one and i'm going to click on the Sahara desert And it will tell me the biome information about that locality that the wwf used for their classifications So we can see these different biomes from around the world. So we come over now to the amazon And click on the amazon we get all the biome information for that particular location as well So if you do happen to do south america as one of your study centers You can look at the biome information For the classifications there as well And a really nice one as well to do guys You can click on the user guide. I'm not going to do it because I'll open another window But you can click on the user guide and get a very detailed breakdown of those wwf Biome information as well. So a really nice one to link in Again about the terminology that you can link in the key stage to so the biomes are a really nice one as well So two more maps. I'm going to show you guys. Okay now one of those Is bringing together some things at key stage two So it's about exploring your place and location It's about looking at routes and where we can travel But it also brings in Symbols and images so linking all these particular Things together So let's go and zoom in on where I live because I'm going to show you my map in a second So the idea here guys is to find your location And using all that survey symbols can we identify the ordinance survey symbols in our particular location So key stage two using ordinance survey symbols. So can I identify where the old are my locality? So I've got things like I've got the Fishing lake here. I've got the nature reserve. I can see I've got a car park I've got a solar panel a farm over here, but I've got a footbridge. I've got an a-road I've got some minor b roads. I've got some trees here I can see there's a school Okay, I can see there's a cross there. So we must have a church there Etc. So so I found all these symbols in my locality So what I want to do next is I want to say can I plan a route To go past as many of these symbols as I possibly can In a circle so very roughly. I'm going to draw this. I'll show you the finished one a minute So if I went from my house I crossed the road come to there cross back over come this way I'm going to follow the road around this way. I'm going to come up to the trees I'm going to walk around here. I'm going to come around the back Cut through the cut way find the school and then make my way back to where I started So can I work out my route that I can follow so I can go past as many of these symbols as possible potentially then you can measure that to work out how far you're going to travel And what we're going to do is because we want to understand the symbols So we might not always understand what these symbols mean as we go on our journey We're going to grab an image of each of these symbols as we go past them on the map So finally when we've done that and brought this all together We get what we call our symbols walk so hopefully that's just Make that slightly smaller guys So you hopefully can see now my completed symbol walk into my location So I plotted my route as you can see where I'm going to go past as many of those symbols as I possibly can I've actually measured how far I'm going to travel So we can have a a guesstimate of how far we're going to travel to do these and I've collected images of those particular symbols So the fishing lake the nature reserve the a-road coniferous trees a minor road the church The footpath and the school So a really good way to go out in your locate location bringing together Kind of looking at where we travel Ordnance survey symbols and bringing it all together into one little practice there going out and doing your symbol walk in your location And one more we've got to show you guys now this again links into some terminology you'll find in the key stage two curriculum Which is about land juice So hopefully you've seen that in your location now land juice is a really good geographical project to do Because it gets your pupils again out exploring your locality So placing location Looking at the buildings and what they're immediately useful in your immediate vicinity So you can get them out in the classroom You can get them collecting data and presenting data Which are two parts of also key stage three and key stage four job But these are giving me a nice kind of foot up into that one as well And then you can create some fantastic looking maps So let's go and find my land use map So this isn't my map guys. This was one that was actually created by a school down here in Hampshire So this is Bartley schools land use map So what you can all first of all is you can work out how we're going to do this So this was done by a group of year fives They decided that one half of the group will go down one side of the road one half will go down the other And look at all the buildings in the location So before they went out, they had a discussion about how are we going to show this on a map? So introducing again Symbolization having a discussion about how are we going to show that information on a map when we're using a map and using Symbolization So they decided they would do it by house bungalow shop pub club and parish hall because those were the immediate Buildings they had in their vicinity So they split into two groups one went one side of the road one went the other they recorded What all the particular buildings we used for They come back into the classroom They pulled their information And they said okay, how can we show this or we can show this by showing one map Showing all the particular land use around our locality So it's a really nice piece of field work to do with your pupils without actually having to travel miles to do it Now your core emphasis here was on every single building But if you're in a location where maybe there's lots of shops Maybe the land use survey would be go out to find the different types of shops we have in the location So it could be classified them and symbolize them by the different types of shops Now what you could do guys for an extra one to add to this is you could also be out taking digital pictures Of what you would perceive to be the key buildings in your location And linking those to your map for understanding So there's a really nice way to better link those elements all together looking at land use I said the wording is particularly mentioned at key stage two I'll explore in our location a little bit of field work collecting and presenting data to show what their land use location looks like And these look fantastic when you print them out at a three and they put them on the wall in your classroom Or if you've got them at a four in your in your pupils workbooks, etc. So there's a really nice link in there I'm going to show you one more map. I didn't have it on my list But it's one of my favorite maps, but this is doing a little bit of cross-curricular work guys So i'm going to show you my titanic map And if you do the titanic here's a really good one to do So this is introducing the world map, but this is introducing What primarily is a geography tool As a literacy tool so using a map to tell a story So we're on base in savannah and hampshire lots of schools will do the titanic because it's one of those themes They pick up at key stage one and two. So this is the titanic story. So I can tell you using the map So I can tell you where it left Belfast the route that traveled on to get to subhampton when it arrived in subhampton When it departed on its maiden voyage Where it traveled across to sherbourg where it stopped in southern island Where it eventually struck the rocks like iceberg rubber and then when it actually sunk So using a map to tell the story So introducing a literacy element into the geography there So there's a nice way to be able to link that in now if you've got a nice disaster Works perfectly for a nice disaster like the titanic. Okay, but it could be a story of change in your location So can you use the map to tell a story of change? My particular favorite one is to get your pupils to tell you their story So where have they lived? What other schools have they gone to what secondary school they're going to go to? Then say, you know, can you find where your parents went to school? Where they used to live and then if you're put if their grandparents or maybe from Bangladesh or india, it's like, well, where did they travel from? So building up that story of that that person you Using a map to tell that story So guys, unbelievably that was 20 minutes. Okay, so I've whizzed through those in 20 minutes We've just touched the surface with some of the things you can do using Digimap for schools I've got a couple of questions in the chat, which I will answer So Amy said, uh, how can we use four figure references on the map? So we've got a couple of options So it's finding places and locations So you can do this for which is quite a nice thing to do So maybe you can find some major things. So if we said let's go and find Buckingham Palace It's now properly it would help So we're going to go find Buckingham Palace. Now we want to find the grid reference So we've got two ways to do it. We can use the overlay With the British National Grid do the proper way go along the corridor and up the stairs Or alternatively we can use the grid reference tool and simply click on Buckingham Palace and find the grid reference that way So that's how we use the grid reference tool We've also got how do you insert photos on the map? So we have a tool here again of the drawing tools Where it says image So let's pop back to the os HQ and pop an image on the map And find my image of the unit survey HQ. So come over to image I get to use any of the markers I like Click on the map where I want my image to go Then you can either search on the hard drive your machine or on your network Okay, so I can then choose a file I can find my lovely picture of the unit survey HQ click on that one and upload that onto my map So linking those images or places that way We've also got how do we put text on okay? So we've got a couple of options for text which Emma's answered in the chat But I'll do it anyway. So we've got two options. You've got a text We've got a text label Which we can just click on that text label choose the color font and size and then pop in a label that's 30 characters Or turn it you can use a text box And this time when I click on my map I can add a text box and type an infinite amount of characters on my map So options of how we can add text as well So guys, I'm we're showing you all the things that we we can do there So do we just touch the surface? Okay, we're going to run lots of more of these webinars So we'll come up with some more ideas. There is the alternative though guys if you want to contact me I'm going to put my email address in the chat But we do actually provide Whole school training sessions So if you would like to have a training session to come and see how you can make best use of digimap for schools As long as you've got 15 teachers you can come along and we can book a training session with me And I'll either run one online or come to your school And show your teachers how they can link it into both their geography maths history Etc across the curriculum. So there's an option there my email address is there So you want to drop me an email? Please do I'm just looking at the questions and there's on top of them all answering them all as well So that's good So guys, if you've got any questions, please pop them in the chat The only other thing I'm going to show you is a super resource that we've added to the website Now the geographic association who are the subject association for geography Have annual awards and fortunately one of our resources has just won one of their GA awards So this is a fantastic resource that you'll find on a learning resources under helping resource And if you're new your geography coordinator You should definitely 100 have a look at this resource. So it's under using digimap for schools And it's the one that says pupil for planning planning for pupil progress from year from year five to 11 So this has been written by a specialist primary school teacher Not only does this link into your curriculum creation to cover your key stage one and key stage two uh geography Also brings in progression how you can progress progress using map skills and maps throughout key stage one and key stage two And it also links fantastically into the new off-stead framework of what they will come to look at if they come into off-stead at your school Particularly looking for geography So if you get the opportunity to download this particular document guys going down and it's free to access It's a fantastically useful piece of Documentation looking at primary map skills So guys if you've got any more. Yeah, how did you color the buildings on the land juice map? I will show you that let's go and log back in There is a nice video that shows you how to do this And it will take a little bit more care than I will in two seconds time So what we're going to use to color in the buildings we're going to use what we call a polygon drawing tool So we can come over to the button here under draw and create that says shape I can choose My outside line and the style and the thickness and a fill color so I can color different buildings different colors So i'm going to highlight around the tennis court just click and release the click And very roughly just draw around the tennis courts As they are on the map there So we can use that polygon drawing tool to highlight specific buildings in a location So it's quite simple to do and you can choose your your fill setting as well So we can change the fill setting And then do a different building if we wish so round the football ground this time So we can do our land use map using that simple polygon drawing tool To highlight those particular buildings Any more questions guys No, make sure you're going to have a look at the twitter link as well Lots and lots of teachers are sending us twitter ideas of how they're using the service Seems to be the media at most people want to be able to use to tell us how they do it So go and have a look at the twitter link. It's found at the bottom of the page Okay, we're getting lots and lots of primary teachers tweeting and telling us how they're using it in the classroom So there's some fantastic peer-to-peer examples of how it's actually being used by key stage one key stage two pupils Okay, so go and have a look at these. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to take some of these ideas and run with them yourself And what I'll do guys i'm going to turn this back on you if you're if you're a digital map school user And you use it with your pupils and it works in a fantastic way Tweet and tell us about it so we can share that idea with the rest of the digital map schools community as well So we'd like to build on those peer-to-peer ideas and get as many of these up and running as we possibly can
