Mapcaster

We are pleased to have launched Mapcaster. We have been trialling it with a number of schools during 2009, and it is a program that we shall continue to develop, with new features and an online version during the coming year.

MapCaster allows children to create or use a map of an area of interest and to allow children to add photos, videos or podcasts about of the places on the map, which can be presented by children to the whole class. More information about Mapcaster, including a link to a YouTube demo is here.
