Guiding students to become familiar with the 'unknown' is at the heart of education, and geotechnologies facilitate virtual accessibility to unknown places. Elementary students' knowledge, skills, motivations and dispositions employed in making meaning of an unfamiliar place were captured using video and think-aloud protocol. The data reveal how content knowledge affected strategies for navigation, dispositions influenced interpretation, and motivation was both ontological and epistemological.
