\nSkyview Middle School <\/a>eighth grade students in Sheilah-Margaret Pothast\u2019s classes took to the Tsalteshi Trails to learn about GIS (Geographic Information Systems), use GPS to map a new trail, build a mobile app, and provide research for a story map now posted on the Kenai Peninsula Borough website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Pothast explains, \u201cMy first and second hour eighth grade American History classes participated in much of the research \u201cgrunt work\u201d guided by our outstanding adult volunteers.\u00a0 Many of the ideas for direct links, etc. that you\u2019ll see in the product are ideas the kids recommended. Our adult volunteers contributed the expertise in their respective fields as well as the actual technical construction of the map. Students worked with adults to add attributes to the app and worked in teams led by the adults to develop the basic content ideas for each tab. Students are seeing the work for the first time and loving it! They are also already thinking of ways to improve it. This has been a wonderful learning experience for all of us, and one I look forward to continuing in the future. Many thanks to our adult volunteers without whom this would not have been possible.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
