Many schools in the Kent Birdwatch 2010 project will be using "I-Got-U 120" GPS data loggers to create and publish "Bird Trails" on Google maps. To illustrate how effectively this technology can be used to share information click on the links below.
Route 1 - Dungeness RSPB Nature Reserve Created by Gill Hollamby (ARC Leading ICT Teacher) and Heather Chantler (RSPB Education Officer)

Route 2 - A stroll along the River Medway Created by Lucy Henderson (Maidstone 1 Leading ICT Teacher)
The map is a photographic record of the journey along the Eastern bank of the River Medway from the Malta Inn to The Millennium Park. Schools considering visiting the site should allow between 75 - 90 minutes for pupils to complete the walk.
