I'd like to thank Tim Wilson from technosavvy.org for visiting my blog and showing me even more links regarding Geocaching in the classroom. So, on Tim's recommendations, if you're interested in this topic, please check out the following:
Geocaching in Education Wiki
Technosavvy.org podcast -- interview with Sonny Portacio (link at bottom of post)
The wiki is a little light in content right now (and still has nothing about English classes), but the potential is there for much growth as this topic becomes more and more hot. Perhaps Reid could add his ideas on a topographical local history project? *nudge nudge* :)
The podcast, meanwhile, has a really great interview with Sonny Portacio, first about Geocaching in general and, then, educational Geocaching in specific. It is very informative -- anyone who doesn't know about Geocaching, please listen to it! Sonny does an outstanding job of explaining it succinctly, which I have trouble doing sometimes. I get too excited about it and tell way more than any layperson cares to know.
OK, that's all I have on Geocaching in the Classroom at the moment. Stay tuned, for I will post here if anything else comes up!
