Abstract(s)
Mobile technologies can facilitate collaboration and knowledge creation in diverse educational contexts, enabling children to become actors in participation processes all around the world. Based on the lessons learned in various research projects, this chapter argues that adding spatial and sensory information augments the affordances of mobile world exploration by primary school children. This chapter starts by introducing a framework that relates technology, education, society and environment and by analysing the significance of space and senses in children’s literacy and mobile learning applications. It goes on to examine the advances in ICT for the development of multisensory georeferenced exploration and communication activities in the context of collaborative learning. The experience of the SchoolSenses@Internet project that developed, tested and used a mobile application for creating georeferenced multisensory messages within diverse collaborative learning contexts is presented. The design and the implementation process of the application are outlined and the lessons learned are identified and summarized. Finally some conclusions are drawn and issues for further research indicated.
