A flat map distorts everything; a globe fixes it, but you can only own one and only one student can spin it. Boardsy puts a real teaching globe on every screen — satellite or political, with country borders, capitals, rivers, the equator and tropics, and labels that reveal themselves as students zoom in.

- Explore (15 min): students zoom into a continent and read the capitals that appear.
- Compare (10 min): switch between satellite and political views of the same region.
- Check (10 min): a quick map-reading check pushed to every device.
