29 April 2009, 7:40am

Wildgoose, the education division of Bluesky International, has developed two new products to support and promote the use of aerial photography in the classroom. A Local Area Explorers’ Kit provides everything needed to conduct local area studies while the Using Our School Aeroimage Deskmats pack is designed to maximise the use of Wildgoose Our School Aeroimage Deskmats. Aeroimage Deskmats are available for anywhere in England and Wales plus selected areas in Scotland, and are available to purchase online at www.wildgoose.ac

“Aerial photography is becoming an easily accessible resource with innovations such as Google Earth,” commented Kathryn Lucas, Education Manager at Wildgoose. “By creating products that promote and support its use in the classroom we can ensure that pupils get the most out of it and truly understand its potential.”

The Local Area Explorers’ Kit contains 10 A4 aerial photographs centred on the school or other location of interest. Ordnance Survey mapping of the same locality, coupled with worksheets, 20 plus suggested activities and topics for discussion make this the perfect aid to local area studies.

Wildgoose is the largest supplier of aerial photography products to the UK education market. Designed to support teaching and promote learning at all stages of education the Wildgoose aerial photography collection features a unique range of innovative playmats, photopacks, posters, books and games plus digital image files for use on computers. With access to most up-to-date and detailed aerial photography from Bluesky, Wildgoose can create bespoke products centred on a specific location or feature.

Wildgoose has been providing resources for education for over 12 years and has grown into one of the UK’s leading publishers of geographical teaching aids. Wildgoose is also a member of the British Educational Suppliers Association. As a division of Bluesky International, Wildgoose has access to the GeoPerspectives national archive of high-resolution aerial photography.
