Review Highlights:
The SDG Educaching Curriculum guide allows teachers to jump into Global Positioning System (GPS) technology with relative ease. The geocaching activities are multidisciplinary and provide students with opportunities to practice a variety of critical thinking skills such as evaluation, analysis, observation, and deduction. As a newbie to geocaching the definitions of related terms and clearly defined lesson plans were very helpful.
An excellent way to introduce young students to the STEM fields in action. Let the high-tech treasure hunting begin! Download this free GPS receiver from iTunes (for iPad or iPhone) to avoid the expense of purchasing a GPS receiver device.
