Abstract :
The Schoolsenses@Internet project explores the creation of georeferenced multisensory information in elementary schools collaborative contexts to promote educational success with a deeper learning at this educational level. Workshops with teachers and children in real contexts play an important role in the design and validation of project tools. This paper reports on the design process of one of these tools to support the use and the creation of georeferenced multisensory simulations and models in elementary education contexts.
