Geocaching

The past two weeks have been really busy. Mrs. Lyle from BCES, Mrs. Fagan and Mrs. Charlton from MNES have been geocaching. Another teacher, Mrs. Settles from HES will be geocaching in April. If you would like to do a geocaching project with your students, please let me know.

Video on Geocaching

Watch the above video on geocaching to see how to do it. We modify it for the school grounds. Then a cache is hidden, the coordinates are recorded in the GPSr then the students go to find them.

Then they find the coordinates on their maps and either place a sticker that they have found in the cache or use their pencil to mark the coordinates. 

The geocaching is modified to coincide with ability levels or SOLS.

Literature Links

Thanks to Tammy Imel, LMS at HES, I am including this special webpage for integrating reading with technology. There are some great lesson plans and ways of using technology in your lessons. Check it out!

Creating Folders on the iPad

 The link below will show you a movie of how to create folders on the iPad.


Video Showing How to Create Folders on the iPad

Tap and hold an app icon on your iPad's Home screen until all the icons begin to wobble.


Drag an app you want to put into a folder on top of another app you would like to include


A folder is created containing the two apps you added. The folder will be automatically named based on the type of apps you added to it. You can change the folder name by tapping on the title and typing a new one.

Tap anywhere outside of the folder's contents to finish creating your folder and return to the Home screen.

To remove an app from the folder, tap and hold any app on the home screen until the apps begin to wobble.  Tap on the folder containing the app you wish to remove. Drag the app out of the folder. Drop it anywhere outside the folder to remove it.

Here is an idea if you are working on family trees or some other historical timeline. We did these family trees in Kidspiration.
