EdWare Learning USA Blog

Know Your USA and Know Your Europe work perfectly with all interactive whiteboards. Using our software with an interactive whiteboard is a great way to teach US and European geography.

Know Your USA and Know Your Europe now come with a selection of high quality maps of each state and country. Each map is layered so the teacher or student can remove the physical features and name labels. We have also included a selection of new drawing tools, so you can draw directly onto the map, and even drag the state capitals and position cities correctly.

Everything is full screen, our software is designed for native interactive whiteboard resolution at 1024x768. The maps, text and images are crisp, want to see your state flag full screen, just click on it, great for teaching.
