Classroom examples

Explore cities and countries with your whole class

Start your lesson in Explore mode and ask students to identify countries or capitals. Let them walk up to the board and click to reveal names. It makes geography visual and engaging.

Use Practice mode for independent learning

Set up 5 practice questions for early finishers to complete at the board. They’ll get immediate feedback and can retry as needed—ideal for reinforcing earlier lessons.

Designed for the interactive whiteboard

This tool is made for classroom interaction. Students can come up to the board, click around, and actively participate in the lesson. With its clear visuals and intuitive design, the Country Maps tool supports a variety of teaching styles and learning needs.
