Educational Geotrekking
Abstract
Geocaching is a civilized treasure-hunting activity enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. Geotrekking takes geocaching to the next level. It expands the educational potential of geocaching by combining this enjoyable physical and mental activity with the purposeful examination of multiple geocaches (traditional, virtual, or online through Google Earth ™) designed and/or collected to provide clues, resources, and scaffolding to support learners as they work on a larger problem-based learning (PBL) challenge or set of challenges. It is expected that engaging students with this type of authentic PBL activity will support improvements in student attitudes towards the related subjects along with increased engagement and learning (e.g., Baker & White, 2003).
