GPS In & Out of the Classroom

Category: teaching – Bernie Dodge – 11:41 pm

The last of my three 1-unit classes this semester finished up yesterday. It was the smallest class I’ve ever taught, but fun to prepare and carry out. EDTEC Saturday Seminar: GPS In & Out of the Classroom won’t be offered again for another year at least, but I learned a lot putting it together.

We covered geocaching, travel bugs, and the use of software like Keyhole, Terrbrowser and MacGPS Pro along with websites and services like Geocoder and the Degree Confluence Project. We left the campus and found three geocaches and created one of our own to be hidden on campus next week. Good exercise for body and mind.
