Podcast reflection #10: Geocaching in education:
In this episode of diving question Bentley Richert, Tammy Worchester, and Becky Herl share a recent geocaching lesson they recently did with kids in Burton schools in Burton Kansas. It is said that the preparation and design came from thinking about the students and the life cycle for science. They listened to what the students wanted to learn and a team came up with an activity/ lesson. This lesson is very technology based. They used GPS for a type of scavenger hunt for the students to have some discovery learning. This team recommends the use of GPS for kinesthetic students, it helps them link material together and remember it more affectively. I liked this podcast because the team used a common topic and made it fun by implementing technology and team work. I liked how creative the team was and how they though about the students, their interest and learning styles.
