Our ProjectModern wireless technology has drastically changed how we
communicate. It also has the potential to be an educational tool for the classroom teacher.
This project was created to: Investigate cell phones as an educational tool; Reduce the barriers to videoconferencing for a school; Provide a form of videoconferencing to schools that had none; Demonstrate how resource sites near and far (museums, zoos, etc.) can
be valuable tools; Give students the opportunity to create a valuble resource for the
community

Geo Historian Project
The Geo-Historian Project utilizes wireless technology to link classrooms with local historical landmarks. Using GPS cellular phones, students will become video historians, creating a living history of real people and real places shared via wireless devices.

“One of the best ways to own local history is to become part of it.” The Geo-Historian Project does just that as
students will take excursions back in time and learn about the people and places and times of local history

Verizon Video Cell Phones
Verizon Wireless donated 3 video cell phones with services;
Two of the phones (LG VX8100) can take still pictures and 15- second video clips and then send them via email or to websites.
The Third phone (Motorola Q) can stream live to a website or another phone.

Roving Reporters
Student reporters with phones visit a resource site such as a museum, business, or local political office and interview an expert.
At this time they create video clips and pictures files with the videophones.
