July 17 - The Last Day!

Well it is the last day of class :-( I hope that everyone has enjoyed the class. I had a great time working with all of you.

For your last assignment I want you to write 2-3 paragraphs about what you did in this class. You can write about things you learned, your favorite part of the class, or a memorable experience. In addition if you have not completed any past assignments please try to get those finished. For today's assignment you can reply/post a comment to my blog with your answer.

Have a Great Rest of the Summer!
See you in September
Mr. S

Friday July 10th - The End of the 3rd Week

Again great job everyone. I have had so much fun working with you during this class. Today's assignment will be short and sweet. I would like some feedback on the course so that I have ideas for the future. Please create a new post on YOUR blog and title it Class Feedback. In your post please write things that you liked about the class and things that you would change if you were in charge. Please do not just write one word answers. Explain what you liked and why and explain what you would change and why. Also let me know how you feel about our field trips for next week. For example do you feel confident in your skills with a GPS to find all the Geocaches. When you are finished check out your classmates blogs and post comments if you see something you like.

Have A Super Friday and a Great Weekend

I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July weekend. Welcome Back.

This is the start of the third week of class. We will be spending the majority of our class time outside from this point forward. Remember to bring in proper clothing, water, and bug spray if you want it.

As a reminder we finished last week getting acquainted with our GPS units.

1. What does GPS stand for?
2. How does a GPS work?
3. What have you learned so far by taking this class?
4. Is there anything you want to do as part of this class?
5. How do you feel about using blogs as part of this class?
