Nystrom World
Overview
- Overview
-
Nystrom World is Social Studies School Service’s digital platform for Nystrom geography and social-studies resources. Students use interactive maps, atlases, lessons, primary sources, activities, and assessment connected to licensed programs.
The licensed geography program gives maps and activities their instructional context. Teachers connect student responses with inquiry and local assessment, while school access determines available collections. Roster and license administration determine access, while the adopted program gives activity its instructional meaning. Teachers and technical staff coordinate changes across courses and school years.
