Design two systems to improve students Environmental Education knowledge - a case for the Barclay Memorial Park

Abstract

In recent years, the rise of the Electronic map gradually replaced the use of traditional paper maps such as the Google Map, Bing Map, and Apple Maps. In the Google Maps which offers Street View, street maps, and satellite imagery etc. Especially, Google Street View was launched in 2007, it provide 360° panoramic views of streets, and make everyone to use the Street View to explore the world. However Google uses cameras, GPS equipment, computers and lasers to capture images, it need a lot of money. Such requirement is big challenge, so we use Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera (DSLR Camera), GPS and Tripod to design a simple Street View backpack. In order to makes everyone use simple equipment to produce panorama, we use Google Street View service to build two system: Street View system for "Testing Student degree" and Street View system for "self-education". In the Street View system for "Testing Student degree", we combined the Testing menu with Street View service let student browsing the street, landscape and answer the question. With this method, teacher can using Street View system for "Testing Student degree" to know how many ecological knowledge that the Student have. After used the Street View system for "Testing Student degree", we provide Street View system for "self-education" to make student learning by themselves. In the Street View system for "self-education", not only learn the knowledge about ecological, historical and humanistic, but also offer the Environmental information that make student learn more Information about the Barclay Memorial Park.
