This idea came from an Apple ad years ago where they showed students exploring a forest and communicating with each other on their devices (the Newton?).

The idea is a mobile phone app that connects students and teachers in a geographic region so they can see each other’s location and share they see and have questions about. Areas can be populated with places of interest for students to travel to.

Post fieldtrip, photos, videos, and notes can be reflected on in the classroom.

• fieldtrip hub website

  • Collect video, photo, audio, and notes with location
  • Use wireless sensors to collect data and graph in realtime.
  • Send classmates messages
