Hot Team: Location-Aware Technologies
A location-aware technology is one that can determine its own geographical location, such as a global positioning system.
Honors students created a virtual tour of trees at Ridley Creek State Park using Google Earth.
In 2007, a hot team collaborated with a team from Purdue University to look at location-aware technologies. They explored how technologies like GPS and Google Maps can be used to create teaching and learning opportunities.The interaction between physical and digital information has the potential to greatly enrich teaching and learning in numerous ways. Location information adds context to instructional content and situates it in the physical world.
