Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore new and mobile collaboration technologies and to try to find more effective ways for museum visits with mobile technologies. The study was implemented in December 2002 with 20 Finnish high school students. The students were participating in alternative art course. All of the students seemed to learn quite easily the technologies and methods used in this study but still there was a lack of time in every lesson. This leads us to few important conclusions: When the new technology is used with new students and in new environments, it is necessary the reserve enough time for students to get familiar with new technology and new teaching arrangements.
