We were awarded a grant from the Gwen Mayor Trust to purchase four handheld GPS devices. \u00a0These devices were used to support learning in maths, literacy and social subjects. \u00a0The project children were involved in was to create information posters and website sections<\/a> describing landmarks in the village of Clackmannan. \u00a0the children researched the history of landmarks in Clackmannan \u00a0including the TOLBOOTH<\/a>\u00a0theMannan stone<\/a>, clackmannan tower<\/a>\u00a0and Clackmannan Parish Church<\/a>\u00a0and established the GPS co-ordinates of each of them. \u00a0They also created treasure hunts using waypoints for their peers where children had to follow trails and assemble clues to solve mathematical problems.<\/p>\n
