Review: Upon hearing of this new cd-rom, I was very
excited to try it out. Being a former state grantee working in
Michigan's Early Intervention program and then again with
Michigan's Parent Training project, I found one thing to be
true: there was quite a shortage of customizable maps. I
was always "stuck" with the creator's fonts, colors, or regions.
Since trying Bruce Jones' map collection, I can honestly say
that I'll never have that problem again. My map search is
finally over! Using eSchoolMaps extensive library on
cd-rom, users can separate or "pull out" pieces of maps, color
and customize states, countries or regions, change fonts,
resize...you name it. The (PC Windows and Mac
compatible) cd-rom includes maps in many formats: PowerPoint,
EPS, JPG, BMP and GIF. Maps include USA, states, world,
globes, regions, countries, and CIA World Fact Book maps and
flags. No classroom should be without this collection.
Students will be delighted to find that this cd-rom contains
virtually every map they'll ever need for class projects and
homework requirements. I would recommend this product to
any educator or parent that has a student whose studies require
the use of maps.
