- Let's go outside! Scaffolded geocache activity
- Back inside: Debriefing, reviewing, discussing; what are the instructional implications? Things to address
- Investigating our geo-locating tools. We have a 'dry' tool (the hardware) and a 'wet' tool (our brains), plus organizing frameworks (cardinal directions; equator & PM)
- How does a GPS work?
- How did our GPS equate with the popular usage of the term? ("I don't need a map--I have a GPS in my car")
- What else can a GPS do?
- How did we orient ourselves outside? What cues did we use?
- Did we think in terms of N/S/E/W or Eq/PM? Did anyone make an 'airplane'?
- Investigating the display & markup tool (Google Earth): What does that file look like? How did I make it? How can you make one yourself?
- kml file of geocache locations
- Extending the activity: Geospatial awareness/skills --> inquiry --> community investigation.
- Broughal 'sewers' unit -- view the full documentation , if you wish
- Local history activity on Henry Noll. We've documented it via a Wikipedia entry ; see also the Lehigh "Beyond Steel " archive project
- Remaining time: Playing with Google Earth
- And an FYI: What we did was not geocaching, it was a scaffolded geocache. See geocaching.com for the real thing.
