Take your class out of this world by using the Global Positioning System (GPS).  You will learn the basics of using GPS, experience a classroom outdoors and learn ways you can implement GPS outside your classroom. 

GPS and GIS are two powerful applications in the real world of science. Come and see how you might be able to incorporate GPS into your curriculum. The goal of this class is to use and generate ideas on how to use GPS to frame learning experiences that will create hands-on learning experieneces for students in a real-world context.
