Schools Save Thousands When Purchasing Digital

In the Social Studies classroom, wall maps are officially an item of the past.  If a teacher possesses a projector, it has now become more cost effective and student effective to purchase and maintain digital maps than it is wall maps. Schools across the nation are moving towards digital, interactive maps, and for good reason.  No longer are the maps just one size, and no longer are there concerns of durability, detail, or accuracy of information.  Without the cost of shipping or the need to buy a whole new map at full price 3-6 years afterward, schools are saving thousands when purchasing digital.


The emergence of digital maps have now allowed teachers to draw diagrams, create labels, zoom in, or contrast and compare two different maps on the same screen.  Their collection of maps could be a simple 5, or could expand to a vast 30 or more that are all accessible at the convenience of a mouse click.  The information available to a student through a digital map is hundreds of times the amount of information that was available on a simple wall-map or free browser-based map.  Within the last 5 years, Geography has become an intriguing and interactive environment, allowing students to explore the world and make connections as they never have before.
