Digimap for Schools

An exciting competition for primary schools

All primary schools across Great Britain are eligible to enter a competition to have Steve Backshall visit their school and tell them about wildlife in their area.  All they need to do is sign up for 30 days free access to Digimap for Schools and create a map of their local area annotated with three photographs showing wildlife they’ve seen near the school.  It’s that simple!  For more information go to digimapwildlife.ed.ac.uk  The competition is a great reason for teachers to get outside and even incorporate a mile walk as they hunt for wildlife!

Your help to assist spreading the word of the 30 days free access would be very much appreciated.  Please share with your primary schools and colleagues working with primary schools.
