Notes de l'éditeur
- “We will take a short quiz to determine our knowledge of the GPS System.Number your paper 1-5.Write down the letter of the correct answer.” After the pretest go over the answers quickly.
- Educaching takes the concept of geocaching into the curriculum.Teacher-led, student-driven hunts using GPS technology, maps, and other navigational toolsStudents work in teams to find educational caches.
- Turning an everyday lesson into a techno treasure hunt adds critical thinking, teamwork, and physical activity. Cache= a hiding place that temporarily stores items.Educache= an item or container hidden for students to find that directly applies to their learning.Waypoint= a marked location that is stored in the memory of your GPS receiver.Travel Bug= trackable item followed on Geocaching.comMuggle= a non-geocacher

- 10 Apples Up On Top!-Dr. Seuss, Theo LeSiegDr. Seuss’ Birthday CelebrationMedia/PE IntegrationThe teacher created stations based on the events from the book.Teacher found coordinates outside for each station and created cards.Students used GPS devices to go to preset stations where they performed the tasks.This activity was completed with older Elementary students but could also be used with the team concept of an older and younger student working together.
- History MysteriesUsing Primary Source InformationAll of these presidents were assassinated: Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, James Garfield and William McKinley. Media/HistoryTeacher recorded coordinates outside for multiple stations.Teacher created cards for groups of students.Students used GPS devices to go to preset coordinates where they found picture cards or newspaper articles of some event in history.Students gathered all of the items and then tried to discover what the items had in common.
- GIS MappingMiddle School. Have students explore the 19 annotated placemarks mentioned in Jules Verne’s “Around the World in 80

- GPS and GIS: Teacher or StudentShe uses geocaching with her students to teach them geography, but it also lends itself to biology lessons as the students learn about flowers, seeds and trees along the trail.http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1220464
- Collaborativee-Bird with Cornell University eBird, a project developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society, provides a simple way for you to keep track of the birds you see anywhere in North America. You can retrieve information on your bird observations, from your backyard to your neighborhood to your favorite bird-watching locations, at any time for your personal usehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/mikebaird/2181766735/sizes/z/
- Collaborative Confluence Project- taking pictures where every major parallel line and line of longitude cross.
