GPS rocks
This activity was very interesting! Our group closely collaborated and created a GPS activity that included a short walk! The form worked well for structuring the event. Even structuring how the datum was written down helped! I wish we had more time to try out the other GPS activities, but I think that wish for my time applies to so much here!
Tying this activity to a specific content area, such as geography- focus on how man modifies the environment, could work well. This is where I hope we can see all the ideas the other groups came up with!
Our group's focus:
Evaluate how man has altered the environment with the houses and golf course. Focus specifically on the issue of erosion. Our first 3 waypoints explored different forms of erosion and erosion control measures. At each of these waypoints the participants needed to identify the erosion pattern AND at least one way humans have altered the area to best protect against erosion damage. The last stop had a new area of severe erosion. The participants needed to analyze the area for the erosion causes and then create a plan to develop erosion protection in that specific area.
