In the next two days, you will gain a good understanding of how you can integrate GPS activities and GIS resources into your instruction. This is a primer course – if you’d like to REALLY get into this topic, participate in the  CMAP Workshop – a 5-day, 3-credit course next summer (or in Cedar City in two weeks!).

Geocaching and Education

Welcome educators, group leaders and facilitators!

Geocaching is a cross-curricular activity that educators, leaders and facilitators are incorporating into their programs with great success. Geocaching combines outdoor play with team-building, problem-solving and other valuable educational outcomes.

This is a collection of our resources so you can combine geocaching and education in your classroom, camp, or seminar.

Excellent. Although I’ve been doing this sort of thing for years, it’s great to see Geocaching.com start to provide a clearinghouse of resources for educators.

Here’s the links and resources you’ll need during our 2 days together of getting to know how to use a GPS to find locations, mark locations of your own, and integrating this technology to collect relevant data & create custom maps with your classes. Here’s a link to my GPS Blog for Education hosted at SEDC, and the class agenda is attached below. Another useful resource could be the Groundspeak Forum for GPS in Education.
