There is a series of twilight training sessions being run by colleagues from the Ordnance Survey to introduce teachers to the Digimap for Schools web mapping service.
Darren Bailey and Ken Lacey from Ordnance Survey have hit the road with a series of free geography teacher training events for schools around the country. Terrible weather did not prevent almost everyone reaching the first two venues in Worcester and Ross on Wye where teachers enjoyed the chance of hands-on time with Digimaps for Schools.
“Digimap looks amazing“
“Great for Key Stage 2”
“Lovely to have resources and instructions to take home”
Each two hour sessions is run by Darren or Ken and most start at 4pm. Training is hosted by a lead school who invite primary and secondary geography teachers from around the area to come along. Some courses are completely full, but if you are a geography teacher in the following areas it may be worth asking Darren if there are any spare places. Dates are as follows:
05/12/2012 Frome BA11 4JF
12/12/2012 Bury BL9 0TS
07/01/2013 Chipping Norton OX7 5DY
08/01/2013 St Ives PE27 6RR
09/01/2013 Leicester LE4 0FJ

Would your school be interested in hosting a training session in the future? If you think you can get 20 or more geography teachers together, and can provide a suitable IT room, contact Darren Bailey at the Ordnance Survey to find out more.
