\nC.T.<\/strong>, Upper Secondary School Student, Schulhaus Gelbhausgarten, Schaffhausen[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”” style=”round” color=”juicy_pink”]\u00abI really like the Swiss World Atlas, as you can work well with it and it\u2019s really easy to use.

\u00ab<\/em>The new Swiss World Atlas is vital for teaching geography.\u00bb<\/em><\/h2>\n

The atlas forms the basis of the new \u2018Weltsicht<\/a>\u2019 (World view) teaching materials that will be available to all of German-speaking Switzerland\u2019s lower-secondary classes from spring 2018. I was especially impressed with the new maps, the many topical references to contemporary geography lessons, its simple, well-conceived overview and the information provided on orientation skills. The atlas\u2019 plethora of maps was vital to the development of the \u2018World view\u2019 teaching materials, as the materials can draw on the atlas content and maps as a basis for classroom work. Teaching professionals can look forward to two brand-new works that reference each other \u2013 and can start to incorporate the World Atlas into their lessons from this year onwards.<\/em>\u00bb<\/em>[\/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”5″ equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column css_animation=”bottom-to-top” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1495121371398{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u00abThe Swiss World Atlas: an indispensable geography teaching aid<\/em>.\u00bb<\/em><\/h2>\n

New editions and publications are increasingly unavailable in an analogue format. However, for some products this is not the case \u2013 and the Swiss World Atlas is one of them. The 2017 edition featuring new and revised content and an updated, modern design confirms this. The Swiss World Atlas is a vital tool for developing an understanding of your own country and the world. The atlas should not be confined to our classrooms; it also comes in handy at home, inviting you to browse and discover more about the world, and making it easier to search for reliable information that you cannot find in a more compact form on the internet.<\/em>\u00bb <\/em>[\/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”top-to-bottom” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1496158602558{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u00abThe Swiss World Atlas has a very clear design.\u00bb<\/em><\/h2>\n

L.,\u00a0<\/strong>Upper Secondary School Student, Schulhaus Gelbhausgarten, Schaffhausenn[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”” style=”round” color=”juicy_pink”]\u00abI really like the layout of the new Swiss World Atlas. It is very clear and features lots of new images. It\u2019s also impossible to find fault with the design \u2013 I think it\u2019s really great.\u00bb<\/em>[\/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”bottom-to-top” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1495121391064{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u00abThe atlas\u2019 wealth of fascinating general knowledge is truly unique.\u00bb<\/em><\/h2>\n

Michael H\u00fcrlimann<\/strong>, Lecturer at the Zurich University of Teacher Education[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”” style=”round” color=”juicy_pink”]\u00abWhen preparing geography lesson plans, I am always surprised and distracted by fascinating titbits from the Swiss World Atlas. For example, I didn\u2019t know that the Bora Bora airport runway is approx. 1.8\u00a0km long, or that an enormous number of windbreakers and shopping centres have popped up in Sarganserland over the last 70 years. The atlas\u2019 wealth of fascinating general knowledge is truly unique and you can quickly become completely engrossed in it. For students, the Swiss World Atlas offers a number of different approaches to understanding geographical issues. It is therefore always a pleasure to show new teachers the vital knowledge and interesting applications and teaching methods supported by the Swiss World Atlas. Of course, I hope that they will continue to use the Swiss World Atlas regularly in their daily work as geography teachers.<\/em>\u00bb<\/em>[\/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”5″ equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column css_animation=”top-to-bottom” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1496158602558{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u00abThe Swiss World Atlas is unparalleled in its precision.\u00bb<\/em><\/h2>\n

Dr. Konrad Weber<\/strong>, Geography Teacher[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”” style=”round” color=”juicy_pink”]\u00abThe atlas contains a vast wealth of information while maintaining absolute clarity, meaning its maps can be used to learn an incredible number of details and interdependencies. In the classroom, you can really dig down into your topic using the Swiss World Atlas. One example of the detail included in the Swiss World Atlas\u2019 maps is the overview map of France, which also depicts Corsica in its entirety and without oversimplification \u2013 and even Switzerland is presented in full. Unlike other maps of France from other publishers, the atlas presents the country within its environment, the European relief and the continental (and British) transport network \u2013 and even Paris\u2019 centralised structure is easily recognisable. I also find that the atlas contains the names not only of the largest cities, but also of regions, areas and territories.<\/em>\u00bb<\/em>[\/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”bottom-to-top” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1495121371398{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Mario Hartmann<\/strong>, Geography Teacher, Sekundarschule Gelbhausgarten, Schaffhausen[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”” style=”round” color=”juicy_pink”]\u00abMore and more data can nowadays be depicted in maps, which are important sources for information in our daily life. But to read maps, specific competencies are needed. The Swiss World Atlas is the perfect tool to develop and train those competencies\u00a0because it offers well selected maps to do so. The\u00a0fold-out general key as well as the additional materials which are offered on the website are of particular value. Modern geography teaching can not be imagined without the Swiss World Atlas.<\/em>\u00bb<\/em>[\/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space][vc_icon type=”material” icon_material=”vc-material vc-material-mail_outline” color=”white” background_style=”rounded” size=”lg” css_animation=”fadeIn” link=”|||”][vc_column_text]Questions to a specific map, inputs for further material or a general remark: we are happy to answer any questions you might have and are also interested in your comments.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
