The Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (SITE) Conference

This poster session provides details on a project designed to increase awareness of the importance of groundwater and understanding of groundwater concepts for teachers and students on Guam. A group of public school teachers from Guam received training in the development of place-based mobile games for engaging students in fundamental issues related to groundwater on the island. The teachers in this course collaborated on the development of a mobile game related to groundwater, with guidance provided by science and technology faculty from the University of Guam. The game that was created and tested with students resulted from instruction and consultations with these experts, as well as from the collective interests and skills of the teachers in the group.
