using handhelds to promote environmental stewardship
Rockman ET AL (REA), a San Francisco-based research and evaluation organization conducted a formative evaluation of KQED's pilot educational outreach activity, Questing. Quests are treasure hunts in which a participant reads a "movement" clue in order to get from one spot to the another and "teaching" clues at certain stopping points along the path, using GPS-enabled handhelds. The Questing project involved training educators how to teach their students to create Quests in their local area in an effort to promote environmental stewardship and learning in science and technology.
