Just got back from TCEA 2008 in Austin, I had a fabulous time.  I even got to do a presentation on Geocaching, GPS units, and GIS applications.  If you attended my session, I hope you walked away with some useful information.  My co-presenter created a wiki for our presentation I am adding it here in this post as well as putting it on my blogroll.  Please feel free to join wiki spaces and visit our wiki and add some of your own links or links to other helpful or instesting sites. 

Here is the link to our GPS wiki, http://tceagps.wikispaces.com/.

Enjoy!

GPS in the Classroom

Posted on February 22nd, 2007 in GPS Units by jefferywomack

This year the school district I work for purchased 35 Garmin Legend GPSr units.  We had a department team building day to become familar with these devices and to try and start generating ideas for classroom uses that would engage students in their everyday learning.  I have been very active in the hobby of Geocaching for just over a year now, and I can see some uses for using these devices instructionally.  I would really like to build a good base of lessons or ideas that incorporate the use of GPSr into the different curriculum areas. 

If you have used or know of someone who has used GPSr units in a classroom setting, please post the ideas or links to what they are or have done.
