Subject: [WWWEDU] A Summer GPS Diary (Global Positioning System)
Greetings!
Got a GPS receiver? If so, have you tried "geocaching" yet? It's tons of
fun, gets you outdoors, and it's educational, too! Learn more here:
Fun with GPS -- article in Monitoring Times magazine
http://www.monitoringtimes.com/html/gps.html
I thought I'd give folks here on the WWWEDU mailing list something fun to
read by catching you up on my geocaching creations over the summer. Some
of them were hidden locally in NY, and some weren't. The most recent was
just published this past Sunday afternoon. Amazingly enough, it was also
logged by another player within only a couple of hours of appearing on the
Web! Here it is...
Ornithological Confabulation -- traditional geocache, Gramlich Bird
Sanctuary, Fayetteville, NY
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=35726
We've also found lots of geocaches hidden by other players, but that's
another story. The prettiest one was hidden in the dunes at the National
Seashore on Cape Cod. To see photos of that adventure, click below and
scroll to a log from "Anton" for July 25. Beautiful place!
Dune -- Cape Cod, MA

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=1256&logs=y&decrypt= --
showing all log reports
Let me define a few terms, in case you're not familiar with this new
geography game played with maps, clues, and a GPS receiver --
Traditional geocaches challenge players to find a box in the woods.
Tupperware and retired military ammo boxes are the commonly used. They are
most often hidden in a city, county, or state park, or perhaps on
state-owned forest property. Some have been placed in public access areas
that aren't parks, per sae, like a cemetery, college campus, or museum
grounds, etc. I looked for one on the Island Princess ferry boat to
Martha's Vineyard this summer, but it had been removed by the time I got
there. Too bad, but this sometimes happens to caches placed in places with
lots of traffic. It was probably found by the cleaning crew. Anyway, when
you find the cache box, you sign your name in the logbook, trade little
trinket prizes (think Dollar Store & souvenirs) with the cache, and perhaps
take your picture with a disposable camera that may be provided. Then you
carefully hide the box right back where you found it for the next player
who comes along. Kids love these little treasure hunts. It's one way to
get them off the computer, away from the TV, and outside for a hike in the
woods with the family. Remember to have them pick out the prize you're
going to trade with the cache box, and then let them hold the GPS when
you're out on the trail -- BIG fun!
Virtual geocaches have no box to find. Instead, players find the location,
and must then answer a special question, or take a photo of themselves
and/or their GPS at that spot. The journey itself is the reward, so to
speak. To submit log saying you found the cache you must first send an
email with the correct answer to the cache owner, and get approval to
submit the log. If the cache requires a photo instead of an answer to a
question, you just upload the photo to go along with your log report -- no
email reply is required in those cases. I set up one of these up for
science teachers at Fulton HS during a Pasco Probes workshop this summer.
They did the very first log on their lunch break!

Fulton Earth Science Team right underneath it
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=32518
Locationless geocaches are like old-fashioned scavenger hunts, but you need
to use a GPS receiver. Instead of going to a specific location, and
finding a box, or answering a clever question, players are asked to find a
location that's "similar" to the model provided on the clue page. For
example, my Arboretum Walkabout geocache uses the Pass Arboretum in
Syracuse as a model. Rather than going there, players have to find your
own arboretum to log this geocache. Players take a photo of themselves and
their GPS at that location. You have to carefully follow the instructions
given for each locationless cache because they vary a bit from one to
another. We're getting log reports with descriptions and photos of
arboretums all over the world. Cool, eh? Same thing with my locationless
geocaches for these themes -- historic forts, observatories, old diners,
Native American memorials, giant chess sets, and US President statues. The
Diners Club geoache is the most popular with over 140 logs now from all
over the globe. Want to know where to get a good meal on the road in
Finland? No problem!

FARM BUREAU, LIGHTHOUSE COMMUNICATIONS NARROW IOWA'S DIGITAL DIVIDE
Residents in rural Iowa, where access to the Internet can be a major
challenge, are now able to connect to the Web and experience the Internet
thanks to the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF) and Lighthouse
Communications Inc. The two entities have established a guaranteed low-cost,
dialup service to more than 300 small towns and rural communities. Increased
access to the Internet will give rural Iowa residents an opportunity to
telecommute and provide a second income without leaving the farm, obtain
degrees online, and buy and sell agricultural products over the Internet,
said Dave Lyons, IFBF's business development director.

EGYPT BOASTS FREE INTERNET SERVICE
While free Internet service providers have failed as a business model in
many parts of the world, a no-cost dialup service is thriving in Cairo.
Since January, Cairenes have been able to access participating Internet
service providers for free, paying only the cost of a local phone call --
the equivalent of less than 25 U.S. cents per hour. This connection fee is
then split between the state-owned Egypt Telecom and the ISP. The pricing
model has lowered the cost of dial-up access by as much as 59 percent; it
has also increased competition among local ISPs, which are now vying for
consumers by touting improved quality of service. Competition, however, may
drive smaller ISPs out of business, but Egyptian telecom analysts suggest
that this might encourage them to expand their services into rural Egyptian
communities. "It's good for consumers and will develop the country at the
end of the day," said Fady Rafla, marketing manager of LINKdotNET, Egypt's
largest ISP. "I'll have my population exposed to other cultures, develop the
market and bridge the digital divide."

SOUTH AFRICA ICT STRATEGY TO FOCUS ON EDUCATION,
HEALTH AND SMALL/MEDIUM ENTERPRISES
South African President Thabo Mbeki joined government ministers during a
Sunday meeting that focused on strategies to strengthen the government's
information and communications technology (ICT) initiatives in education.
South Africa has formed an international ICT advisory body that will assist
with the development and implementation of domestic e-strategies for
businesses and schools. Addressing concerns regarding the digital divide,
President Mbeki stated that many schools in the country are already
functioning as computer and communication centers in poor communities.
However, he said, there are high costs involved with going online, creating
a need to ensure that schools would not be charged the same
telecommunication tariffs as the private sector. Similar ICT policy
workshops will be held on health and small/medium enterprises; the
government will also appoint a taskforce to discuss the establishment an ICT
institute in South Africa.

Project Title: International School and Classroom Virtual Visit Project.
Project Begin & End Dates: 10/15/02 to 3/30/03
Project Summary:
In the Understanding Cultural Differences School Virtual
Visit Project particpants , will not only share with their partner
schools pictures and
writing about themselves, their school and their
community, but they
will also choose a cultural understanding theme to
discuss.
-------------------

Project Level: Advanced
Curriculum Area: Arts, Business, Community Interest, Health and Physical
Education, History and Social Studies, Information Technology, Language,

Technologies Used: Email
Project Sponsor: none
Full Project Description:
We will soon begin the fourth cycle of our
International School and
Classroom Virtual Visit Project. This time it's called
the Understanding Cultural Differences School Virtual
Visit Project_
because adult learners, and young people in elementary
and secondary
schools, will not only share with their partner
schools pictures and
writing about themselves, their school and their
community, but they
will also choose a cultural understanding theme to
discuss. The project
is designed for students who would like to collaborate
and learn in a
global environment using e-mail and the World Wide
Web, and who would
like to discuss strategies for overcoming cultural
misunderstanding,
ending cultural conflicts, and/or bringing about world
peace.
Here's how it works: your class will be matched with a
class in another
part of the country or world. Here's what each class
will do:
* Step 1: You and your students make a Web page
of a tour of your
class, school and community. You'll need access to a
digital camera (or
a regular camera and scanner) and you, your students,
or someone will
need to make and put up Web pages.
* Step 2: Your class looks at the Web page tour
of your partner
class and then your students email the students in
your partner class
questions about their community and ideas for
overcoming cultural
misunderstanding. Partner class students also e-mail
you their
questions
about your Web page tour, your class, school, and
community, and about
the theme for discussion.
* Step 3: You answer each others' questions by
e-mail, and
possibly
continue back and forth with more questions and
answers.
*Step 4: You compile the questions and answers
on a Web page and
link these to your original Web page tour. All this
generally takes 3 -
5 months.
If it sounds like a project you would like to learn
more about and
possibly participate in, sign up on the International
Classroom Virtual
