Children from Ravensworth Primary School, Normanby will be testing their wildlife knowledge with the help of special handheld computers at Flatts Lane Woodland Country Park this week.
The youngsters will be trying out their new EDA - Education Digital Assistants - and using the software 'Wildkey' to help them identify sounds, plants and creatures with exercises in pond-dipping and a minibeast trail.
Headteacher Kevin Skelton explained: "Everyone is very excited with these computers and I'm sure we can enhance the learning experiences for us all - children and teachers!
"There is a quiet revolution taking place in a small number of British classrooms and Redcar and Cleveland is at the heart of this new adventure in digital education."
Countryside warden Helen Taylor said: "We are happy with the opportunity to provide children with a chance to use them and will be very interested in the results."
Redcar and Cleveland Council's Cabinet Member with responsibility for Rural Affairs Councillor Mark Hannon said: "This is an excellent project, with combines great fun with terrific learning opportunities and I'm sure it will be a success".
The £16,000 project is half-funded by parents with the assistance of a grant from DSG International plc, through the e-Learning Foundation, a charity set up to specifically ensure every pupil in the UK should have access to technology for learning when and where they want to learn.
DSGi Community Affairs Manager Clare Brine, whose company is Europe's leading specialist electrical retailing group, said: "We're delighted to help. Access to and familiarity with IT is critical to the future of children as it increasingly becomes part of our daily lives."
