The sport of Geocaching has promoted physical activity for over 10 years with more than 1,000,000 hidden caches. Learn how to use this high tech sport in an educational way to teach physical education concepts. Also learn how to integrate disciplines such as writing, math, science, and history into the sport to motivate students toward physical activity after their physical education class is over. Actual Geocaching will occur during the second half of the session.
