Geocaching+for+Learning

=media type="custom" key="13726216" width="290" height="290" align="left"= **__Three (PLUS A__ BONUS__)Things I L____earned on my Expedition Across Campus__** 1. The University of Akron has many different historical statues/sites that I never really paid attention to before. 2. I learned that the rock candy statue was actually the first outdoor sculpture of polymer materials on a universities campus. 3. The amphitheater is not just a bunch of random poles in the ground it was actually dedicated to a professor that graduated from The University of Akron. 4.NEVER MISS CLASS BECAUSE ITS A PAIN TO GO AROUND CAMPUS AND DO THE ACTIVITY ON YOUR OWN RATHER THAN WITH THE CLASS! :)

 * __Ohio Content Standards for Technology__**


 * Standard 1: Nature of Technology **
 * Students develop an understanding of technology, its characteristics, scope, core concepts* and relationships between technologies and other fields. **

During this activity we link math and technology. By using our __cell phones__ we linked technology (finding to sites) to math (finding the next coordinate).


 * Standard 2: Technology and Society Interaction **
 * Students recognize interactions among society, the environment and technology, and understand technology's relationship with history. Consideration of these concepts forms a foundation for engaging in responsible and ethical use of technology. **

During this activity we interacted in the environment by going out and finding the sites and linked the sites to history.


 * Standard 3: Technology for Productivity __Applications__ **
 * Students learn the operations of technology through the usage of technology and productivity tools. **

During this activity we used our cell __phones__ to input coordinates to find the geocaching locations.


 * Standard 4: Technology and Communication Applications **
 * Students use an array of technologies and __apply__ design concepts to communicate with multiple audiences, acquire and disseminate information and enhance learning. **

After geocaching we used multiple forms of technology to put together our presentation. I used animoto, audacity and wikispaces.


 * Standard 5: Technology and Information Literacy **
 * Students engage in information literacy strategies, use the Internet, technology tools and resources, and apply information-management skills to answer questions and expand knowledge. **
