The Handheld Augmented Reality Project (HARP) is using wireless, GPS enabled devices to enhance student learning. UW Madison is involved in the project that "uses global positioning system (GPS) technology to track a person's movement, and when that person reaches a designated point, he or she is confronted with a computer-generated image or situation pertaining to the scenario in question."
A sample HARP activity, called "Alien Contact" (further explained in an article from ESchool News Online) "assumes that aliens have landed on Earth, and students must work through math and literacy problems to figure out why the aliens have landed."
For more info about this activity and others as well as background info on the Stars Schools project, but sure to check out the article.
