Technology has played an important role supporting education. Well-known paradigms like e-learning and m-learning have been revolutionizing traditional concepts of learning, which due to ubiquitous computing characteristics became closer to students. In this paper we approach the concept of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and their potential to improve the quality of teaching and learning in elementary education. WSNs are the ultimate interface between the students and the context, enhancing the interactivity with the learners' real context and consequently improving the acquisition and construction of knowledge. We also present uMove2Learn, a WSNs solution designed to assist learners and teachers in their daily activities.
