Geocaching

We learned about Geo-caching in my Social Studies class. Anyone can Geochache, however teachers can use it as a great tool for teaching longitude and latitude, geography, and even history. When Geocaching, you use a hand-held GPS and look for hidden "treasures" by going to geocaching.com to get the coordinates of their location. One suggestion our teacher gave us was to use geographical markers as places to hide caches because they incorporate history and geography. I hope to use geocaching in my classroom, and to do it on my own time. It is a lot of fun!
