Join KTI and PAECT members for a full day hands-on seminar on GeoCoaching and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GeoCoaching is a "treasure hunt" where participants use Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to search for hidden treasures across the world. GIS allows programs like Google Earth to access information about the world around us. Attendees will spend time in the classroom using GIS applications, free GeoCoaching software and resources before heading outdoors (rain or shine) to learn how to find hidden treasures! Attendees will learn how to create lessons using geocoaching to teach any subject: Science, Mathematics, English - the possibilities are limitless. Special "curriculum caches" will be hidden in the surrounding area and attendees will learn how to use a GPS to find them. ||
