Week 16: Digital- Sensors and Sensibility

This week we looked at two tools used in modern day society that allow children to explore the world around them at any time or place.

The first one was a mobile sensor task. 

This allows children to use a device where they can use GPS location apps, data capturing tools and sensors. This creates an environment where learning is situated, contextual and collaborative for learners.

We used the tool 'Sense-it App'. the nQuire website has missions that children can complete to explore this tool.

The second tool was brain sensing tool. 

We used sensing devices from ThoughtWired and the app 'Brainwave Visualizer'. These tools develop cognitive and motivational skills during online learning environments.
