I had fun creating this lesson plan! I have had a couple of experiences geo-caching, and both were so much fun that I know students will not only learn a lot and get exercise, but they will also enjoy it!
Technologically speaking, I hope the students learn to use a GPS and start to connect technology with exercise. I think technology has been dubbed the "bad guy" in terms of childhood obesity, along with television viewing, but I hope to show them that technology can be used in creative ways to support healthy lifestyles. Besides that, through this lesson my students will practice following written instructions, working as a team, and with all the running through the park they will get plenty of aerobic exercise!
The electronic form is AWESOME and includes everything... Who the lesson is for, the objective, detailed description of the activity, how long it should take, standards met, etc... When I was subbing, I wish the teachers I subbed for would've used this form because it gives you everything you need to teach a lesson! I have this in "delicious" and plan to use it for my plans.
The ISTE standards I meet in this lesson are standards 2 ( Designing and developing digital-age learning experience and assessments) and 3 (Modeling digital-age work and learning).
The only thing I would do differently in this lesson is adding cell phones for picture taking... Kids love pictures, and it would be awesome for them to each receive a team picture holding their cache (Great idea, Christine!). This would also reinforce the connection of technology and activity!
