Alice Christie's GPS and Geocaching

Dr. Alice Christie's website is very informational and helpful for those who are studying to be educators. The GPS/Geocaching section was very interesting. I have never heard of this concept before. Oddly enough its really popular locally, nationally, and even internationally. Geocaching creates memories the students can cherish and remember. Dr. Christie brings up important points. She explains the importance of getting students involved in their education and focuses the integration of technology in the classrooms. The Geocaching allows students to understand how the global positioning system works while having fun doing so.

Dr. Christie brings up another good point, "Using these tools and activities give classroom teachers opportunities to instill in students a curiosity about geography, science, mathematics in the world in which they live." Geocaching can allow a teacher to put difficult concepts in a simple form for students to understand. Along with several interesting and helpful lessons, she has shown how to effectively incorporate technology into classrooms for all different areas of academics.
