Create-a-scape by Futurelab

The Create-A-Scape website is provided by futurelab, with the support of the DfES and HP Labs, to enable teachers and students to create mediascapes (location-based media) as easily as possible and to find all the resources they need for their creation in one place – software, step-by-step guides and the inspiration to get started. Create-A-Scape was inspired by prototype research projects, which demonstrated the enormous potential of mobile technology for learning.
To create a mediascape, students start with a PDA handheld computer (with or without a GPS unit), headphones and digital map of their local area. Then, using free software, they can begin their explorations, attaching digital sounds, pictures and video to places that they choose on the map.
The judges were impressed and excited by this innovative and considered approach and wished they were a few years younger so that they could have a go.
