Attention All Educators

Indiemapper was born in the classroom based on a simple, shared frustration: Why is it so hard to make good maps? While GIS is very powerful, it easily overwhelms students who often waste precious time hunting for buttons and forgetting how to do simple tasks. All of us at Axis Maps have extensive experience in the classroom; This is the tool we always wished we’d had to teach map-making to our own students.

Fall 2010 we’re offering instructors who want to use indiemapper in their classroom ready-to-go labs, sample data sets, and video tutorials so your students can hit the ground running. This is in addition to the academic discounts we already offer. Plus we are offering a free account for instructors who use indie in their classes. For more information go to http://educators.indiemapper.com/ or send an email to education@indiemapper.com to find out how you can begin using indiemapper in your classroom.
