OUR+GEOCACHING+REVIEW

Michaela- I really enjoyed the geocaching activity with my group. I thought it was very fun and we really had many laughs throughout. It also became addicting because we did not want to leave some spots without finding the geocache, even when we had to be in class within the next 30 minutes. I think this would be really fun to use in my classroom, but would take a lot of rules put into place to make sure this went smoothly.

Amber- This was a great adventure to go on with Sarah, Michaela, and Elizabeth. One of my favorite part of this experience was traveling all over Buies Creek and Lillington to look for these geocaches. It was very exciting to be able to find a couple geocaches and when we did not find the one we were looking for it made us want to continue to look for more. I think this would be a great activity to integrate into my future classroom and hope one day to share this experience with my classroom.

Sarah- I loved geocaching! It was definitely a fun activity to do with my friends. I enjoyed traveling all over to find the geocaches. I would use this in the classroom- with some strict rules and it would have to be laid out perfectly, but now that I've done it myself I would feel more comfortable doing something like this with a class. Super fun assignment!

Elizabeth- At first I thought this geocaching activity was going to be a lame assignment (sorry Roukema!) but it turned out to be a really exciting activity! Amber, Sarah, Michaela, and I were so determined to find these geocaches that it was more of a mission than a game to find them. Using this in the classroom would take a lot of preparation from the teacher to be sure things ran as smoothly as possible. Geocaching is a great way to incorporate active learning strategies into the classroom!
