A comprehensive and authoritative account of how primary school
children and teachers can use maps to enhance learning and deepen
understanding of this essential skill. It includes all aspects of
map use, such as reading and interpreting maps and using maps to
find the way, covering maps of all scales, including globes and
atlases. The text is extensively illustrated with examples,
including maps made by children themselves using conventional
materials as well as computer software. A particular feature of the
book is the integration of digital and conventional mapping, and
Internet and CD-ROM cartography together with simple applications
of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) appropriate to the needs of
children right through primary and secondary education. This book
will be of great use to all primary teachers and subject teachers
in secondary school as well as non-specialist geography teachers,
and will enable children to use all types of maps in new,
compelling and thoughtful ways.
