Today world has connected the virtual and the real throught the Internet networks and the web localmedia make possible to citizens participate by a sort of media derive in building smarts cities.

The aim of this toolkit is to explore some tools that we find at Internet so we can reflect by doing some activities about how satellites and Internet and its tools allow us to travel through time and space virtually. Besides all these tools are ready to be used to make great discoveries!
We propose to use these tools but also to do it under the influence of the open web philosophical approach. To work together, to collaborate, learn how to search information, to play, to simulate and to learn by doing, by using, by having experiences. And of course! We propose to do it using open source tools and resources.

Information:

• Public-age: the activity is recommended to teenagers. From 12 to 16 years old. It would be recommended to module the level on the historical facts and reflections to their background knowledge.
• This activity is easy to implement if you have computers, Internet access and a simple audiovisual dispositive.
• The activity from a technological point of view can be explored with a minimum of 2h but it’s possible to make a longer activity by spending more time on searching and reflecting about an issue.

3. What is it ?

• By Open..... Web: We mean open source tools but open and free resources and media content on a Open Web.
• Global+Local= Glocal. We have virtual acces to a global world thanks to Internet and the Web but we also can contribute to them creating and sharing knowledge about our local reallity by creating our own content.

This toolkit is to learn how to search information using the different browser (Text, images, maps) to search, compare, imagine and reflect).
Overall, the principle of this toolkit is to practice the use of these Open Web Tools with the GPS and mobile devices to connect the virtual and global world with our physical and local reality.
