UK’s Ordnance Survey’s Educational Site, MapZone, Adds New Content

The award-winning site, www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/mapzone, teaches mapping skills by using a stimulating combination of interactive play, questions and answers, animations and games. It includes a section called GIS Zone – aimed at older children – that explains the role of geographical information systems.

The new content includes a link to the Geograph website, which Ordnance Survey is sponsoring to improve its use in the teaching of geography. The Geograph British Isles project aims to collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometre of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
