Paper Abstract:      Human senses and geographic information play a central role in learning. However, in formal elementary school curricular activities they are seldom truly explored. In this paper we present a geo-referenced multisensory graphical editor for this age range, developed inside the SchoolSenses@Internet project, along with the work done in a two-session workshop with a group of school children that involved both outside and inside classroom work. In the outdoor setting they explored, using smartphones, a sensorial garden. In the indoor activities they used the multisensory editor to express their view of the garden. The SchoolSenses@Internet project website also provides some data analysis tools to better elicit the information produced by the children in the scope of this project activities.
