Dr. Christie's GPS and Geocaching for Educators

I think that GPS and Geocaching can be useful for teachers in many different ways. First, the GPS can be used in multiple subjects. This makes it easy for pretty much all teachers in almost every subject to use this fast growing technological device. Dr. Christie provides information regarding which GPS schools should purchase. If the school system knows how to purchase the products more teachers and more students will get to use this exceptional technological tool. GPS systems can be used in math in lessons regarding money, and budgets. In science to engage in the scientific process involved in working with the GPS. Students and teachers will develop more effective skills in problem solving and collaborating with others to explore and explain the world around them.

Also, using the Geocaching game is a fun, new, and exciting way for students to learn. Instead of simply reading books and listening to the teacher explain the subject matter, using the game gets students out of the classroom and out into the world without ever leaving campus. The Geocaching game helps students develop the practical and critical thinking skills required to better understand the world around them. All teachers can use this technological game to engage their students and help take them to new levels of learning.
