Jason Sawle has shared ten teaching tips for National Geographic's MapMaker.

Here's one for example that I used to make a lot more use of than now....

Back in 2010-12 I travelled the country leading GIS sessions with Jason Sawle, using an ESRI product called Digital Worlds.  We visited cities up and down the country at the time. Jason is now Global Schools Manager at ESRI, and was involved in the launch of MapMaker.

The new National Geographic MapMaker has some unique features for teaching. Use the weather simulation tool in 3D to aide understanding and reduce cognitive load for flooding case studies. Try it for yourself at https://t.co/92wRmaZknk#EsriUC2023 #geographyteacher pic.twitter.com/7G0d4zyf5J
