5th Grade Walking Trip to Learning Garden Lab

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

On Monday, Ms. Jen’s classroom took a walking field trip to Learning Garden Lab. She tracked the trip with tool called EveryTrail. Basically it is an application for the iPhone that allows you to record a trip using the GPS of the iPhone and also allows you to capture images along the way. The tool records your track and also plots elevation gain. An interesting way to document a field trip.
