Technology Playground believes that Geocaching is a great way for kids to get outside and get active! It takes learning outside of the classroom in numerous ways.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -
Geocaching is an outdoor activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called “geocaches” or “caches”, anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers or ammo boxes can contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Geocaching is most often described as a “game of high-tech hide and seek,” sharing many aspects with benchmarking, trigpointing, orienteering, treasure hunting, Letterboxing and waymarking.
