GIS - Geographical Information Systems
The Ordnance Survey MAP Zone website includes an excellent resource called GIS Zone. It provides modelling and simulation software to teach pupils about Geographical Information Systems(GIS).There are excellent downloadable teacher resources for exploring GIS systems in the classroom. Topics include; flood damage control, wind power location, crime prevention and farm management. The site provides opportunities to teach pupils about the benefits of digital map and satellite imagery modelling to make decisions and solve problems and provides a context for using ICT in the wider curriculum.

Schools in the South East and South West can get subsidised access to Infomapper (http://www.infomapper.com) through their RBC broadband connections. Infomapper is a powerful GIS mapping tool with historical, OS, and local content.
