Geocaching has been called 21st-century orienteering and the world's largest treasure hunt. But is it also a learning activity that inspires creativity and real-world problem solving? Hiding, locating, and finding geochaches is incredibly popular, but it's not just a weekend pastime-it can also be an educational opportunity for students of all ages. Geocaching can help students explore any subject. For Science, techers could combine Geocaching with their classes so that students are able to learn better about nature. Walking is one of the best exercises for lifetime fitness. So for Physical Education teachers, they could make walking more interesting and exciting through Geocaching.
People love outdoor activities. Thanks for the technologies, we can make classes more interactive.

ReplyDeleteI am interested in Geocaching in Education. It's great because it is different from another tools. I will learn more because in Thailand it is still new for us.
Vivi- never heard of this before but it sounds really interesting. One of my friends is a teachers aid in a toddler class that is in a montossori school and i feel like they incorporate things like that into their activities.
