First LETS GO pilots with Swedish Schools: Mobile Open Inquiry-Based Learning for Ecology

03 of June, 2009 By: Marcelo Milrad

In the LET´s GO project, Stanford and Vaxjo university faculty in learning sciences and computer science are developing and implementing a new paradigm for fostering high school student learning in teams for environmental science. We are integrating geo-location sensing, multimedia communication, information visualization and Web 2.0 mashup technologies, to create science learning collaboratories using interdisciplinary co-design methodologies with teachers, learners, teachers-to-be, technology developers, domain experts, and learning scientists. Last week, two classes from two local schools in the Vaxjo region have been actively involved in the first pilots. Activities consisted of mobile open inquiry-based tasks including; problem solving, exploration, field data collection, visualization and discussion in the classroom. The video clip below, shown at the Swedish National Teleivision (SVT) last week, gives a good description of some of these activities and the tools the students used in these pilots.
