Enquadramento
With the appearance of Wireless Sensor Networks and mobile devices new opportunities to access real data more easily appeared. Mixing both, model/simulation elements and real data, in models/simulations gives us the chance to link and merge real and virtual representations of the reality under study.
Objetivo
This work main goal is to develop a first environmental education modelling/simulation prototype tool for the creation of models/simulations that can integrate real data (coming from sensors, for instances) with conceptual constructs (model/simulation elements) for basic education.
