چکیده
This poster summary describes research that investigates the use of mobile technologies to support young children’s collaborative artifact creation in outdoor environments. Collaboration while creating a knowledge artifact is an important part of children’s learning. Key aspects of supporting this process outdoors are discussed. An approach is outlined that uses mobile computers for artifact creation and computational enhancement of tangible flags that connect artifacts to environment. Preliminary results of cooperative inquiry design with children are presented.
