Tomorrow, the education department at the Audubon Center at Francis Beidler Forest will be making a "Geographic Technology: GPS, GIS, & iPod Touch" presentation at the South Carolina Geographic Alliance's Geofest 42. Teachers will be introduced to the technologies, including learning how to navigate with a GPS unit, learning how to create basic maps using free online software, and how to integrate iPod Touch devices into educational programs.

Beyond our free boardwalk-specific app, we are using our 20 iPod Touches in a variety of ways. We can tailor the use of the iPod Touch to any topic you wish to cover during a visit to the old-growth swamp!
