Check out SkyScout.
SkyScout is a new small handheld GPS that allows you to point to the sky and instantly identify, locate and learn about stars, planets and constellations via audio or text.
"The SkyScout includes entertaining and educational audio and text information, including facts, trivia, history and mythology about our most popular celestial objects."
This type of tool allows students to lighten up their backpacks by carrying around a lot less to learn more.
Just think about how SkyScout will extend learning beyond the four classroom walls and 50 minute class time. You might even find students doing homework in their pajamas in their backyards under the night sky!
