Short description: Édugéo is primarily intended for teachers and their students. This service aims to give schools public access to a set of geographic resources.

This online service has been thought out and designed to facilitate the acquisition of fundamental concepts included in geography programmes, from elementary school level to the final year in high school.

It relies on an online mapping tool enabling users to:

• view aerial photographs, old maps, external data, etc.;
• create and save drawings with points, lines and shapes;
• compare different datasets to assess changes;
• save drawings in MAP format, but also KML, GPX or GML.

The embedded statistical tool allows users to represent localised phenomena in the form of a map with statistical, economic and scientific data in geographic formats (geojson, KML) or spreadsheets associated with municipalities or departments (xls, csv).

Different types of maps are available and configurable (thematic map, colour range, proportional symbols, diagrams, heat map, etc.). These maps can then be saved, printed and used in the Édugéo tool to add an additional layer of information. Sample data is available to familiarise the user with the features offered by the tool.

Édugéo also provides a series of educational notebooks produced by professors and school inspectors, with ready-to-use case studies and labs facilitating the use of resources and tools, addressing concepts included in school curricula.

Educational scenarios involving Édugéo are available on Édubase, a national bank of educational scenarios operated by the Digital Education Department (DNE).  Édubase enables users, from a single interface, to search for an educational scenario illustrating a programme theme related to digital education.
