Abstract :
Our software (the EIVS) is designed for supporting environmental education by providing tools for (1) automatic data collection through networks, (2) data analysis, and (3) graph drawing of the environmental data measured by sensor-robots located at remote areas. Our software using Squeak (the Smalltalk environment) works on the hardware OLPC-XO with Squeak Virtual Machine. Our software on the OLPC-XO will allow a larger number of children using the OLPC-XO to recognize situations and problems of our environment for the discussions and the considerations of their better solutions.
