Geocaching!

This week in class we learned about geocaching.  This is a website that tracks where people place items in random places. You can find all of these places by using GPS.  This is a great tool for a classroom to show how to use latitude and longitude.  It is amazing to learn how many different locations this cache is located in. We located one on ETSU campus and found it difficult to find. It was really well hidden! I can see how so many people find this addicitng.  I plan to do some geocaching myself this summer when I finally have some free time.  You can check it out at http://www.geocaching.com/.
