Field Trip Flags- Meagan Laird




Tangible Flags are designed to support and encourage children to concurrently explore, collaborate and construct digital artifacts while they are immersed within mobile, hands-on environments, such as field trips. Children can use Tangible Flags to mark interesting points as they explore in an open environment. They can then create notes or drawings on a mobile computer and attach the digital information to the Tangible Flag with a physical action, by placing the computer over the flag. When they discover a Tangible Flag placed by another child, they can access the digital information with the same action and annotate that information in a shared space.
This would be really cool to use at farm science review! The only problem is that they would be easy to lose. Or you could get the different companies to help you and have students stop by the booths and the rep. there would have to give them the flag. It would be really awesome, but would require lots of planning!
