hot4tchr asked me to share this: Have you ever wanted to go on a treasure hunt? If so, come to Perry Farms on May 22nd at 10:30am to join local teachers for the 2nd Annual Discovery Educator Network Geocaching Day. Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Check out www.geocaching.com <http://mail.ksd111.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.geocaching.com/> for more information on geocaching. Geocaching is being used in classrooms throughout the country. Here are a few sites showing how others are using it: lovinfifth.com/gps/GPS-activities.htm <http://mail.ksd111.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://lovinfifth.com/gps/GPS-activities.htm> and www.sciencespot.net/Pages/classgpslsn.html <http://mail.ksd111.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.sciencespot.net/Pages/classgpslsn.html> If you would like to learn about geocaching through a hands on experience please join me on May 22nd at Perry Farms, just behind the Exploration Station. To register please complete the form at : tinyurl.com/DENgeo2010 <http://mail.ksd111.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://tinyurl.com/DENgeo2010> Hope to see you there! Tracy Selock

First off, I hope that Tracy is Full Aware that she is Encouraged and Welcome to share here directly. Sign Up here and participate if you can, OK? Secondly, these links look interesting for what I quickly looked over here tonight. Pretty Cool that the Exploration Station is hosting a Caching training. I wonder where I would fall in on the Registration Form. An Expert, or just the Some, re: Experience? Lastly (and I Will say Least... ) I'll still be at work when this event starts up. Medical problems are already cutting into my time off, so I doubt I can take this one Off in order to attend. Darn It!
