Geocaching and Google Earth and Google Maps on Friday!

This is the plan for Friday.Third grade and fourth grade teachers worked together to "plant" some geocaches. Half of the combined classes will go outside with the two teachers to geocache with our GPS's. (You can rent several for a week from Essdack if you do not have any.) When half of the kids are outside geocaching, I will have the other half of those classes with their own laptops looking at Google Earth and Google Maps. Thirty minutes will fly but I will update you later on how it goes. On google earth we will be taking a journey to Polar lands and hope to have time to find some fun things like Disney world etc. with the thought in mind to introduce some google earth tools and geography,concept of three dimension etc.
