ESRI Visualiser

If you need to show students the world and have a free GIS / Visualisation tool, check out ESRI's Visualiser.

This is a free tool with no login. Maps can be viewed in 2D or as a 3D sphere.

There are some measuring tools, and also some layers that can be added e.g. ocean currents.

Thanks Jason

A well deserved step up for Jason, who I have known for quite a while now, and who has always been helpful and supportive... we ran joint courses for a while about 10 years ago when I was working for the GA. Follow Jason on Twitter to see where he goes next....

ESRI's tools have come a long way, and are now free for most and increasingly powerful and flexible.

Some personal news. Yesterday was my last day as Head of Education at @esriuk as I have moved to a new role with @Esri to be the Global Manager for Schools.
A big thank you to @geogologue and @GIS4HE for being great team mates and committed fancy dress collaborators😀! pic.twitter.com/EA2A18dEjU
