    • Work through each column box by box.
    • Tick off completed steps in the checklists.
    • Your ticks are visible only to you - every teacher has their own progress.

    4. Enter a title.
    5. Save the map - done.
  • First column:
    1. Click New Column.
    2. Give the column a title.
  • Creating and filling your first box:
    1. Click New Box.
    2. Give the box a title. Save.
    3. Click the orange pencil icon.
    4. Enter text in the box editor.
    5. Format the text (e.g. make it bold or insert a list).
    6. Upload images, videos, audio, and other files.
    7. Insert a link on a line of its own so the automatic link preview appears.

🤝 Sharing & Collaboration2

🤝 Sharing Without Hurdles

  • The heart of Edumaps: students need no account of their own to participate.
  •  
  • Two kinds of links:
    • Read link: recipients can view the map
    • Write link: recipients can create and edit boxes
  • How to share:
    1. Open the share dialog in your map.
    2. Choose Read or Edit.
    3. Copy the link, show it as a QR code, or send it directly.
  • Individual boxes can be shared too - handy when you only want to hand out a single task.
  • The QR code is perfect for the projector: the class scans it and everyone is in.

    • Quiz: questions with evaluation
    • Comments and likes: can be enabled per box
  • Don't start from scratch:
  • The template catalog contains over 200 ready-made templates - from teaching units to parents' evenings to class trips. Pick a template, adapt it, done.

🏫 Working Together at Your School

  • Edumaps is built for schools:
    • Classes and groups: share maps with specific learning groups instead of handing out links one by one.
    • Staff: edit maps together with colleagues - ideal for conferences, project weeks, and school development.
    • School login: you sign in through the system set up at your school (single sign-on), no extra password.
  • Ideas for getting started with your colleagues:
    • A digital notice board for the staff room
    • A materials collection per subject department
    • Organizing the next project week
