Summer Technology Institute
Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment. This class will offer an introduction to geocaching including coordinate systems, GPS systems, history of geocaching, types of caches, and geocaching etiquette. Participants will have the opportunity to search for nearby caches.
GPS technology can be an amazing tool for education. There are so many different applications and ways to implement this into your classroom instruction, no matter what you teach. Ideas for using geocaching in many curricular areas and grade levels will be shared. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing to look for local geocaches.
