More to come on this later, but today Priory Geography member Sam Atkins led our geocaching trip to Box Hill. As part of the London 2012 cycle road race, the area will receive many visitors. Weāve placed three caches, each with an aim linked to the Olympics. Weāve also used Microsoftās TAG software to link each cache to information about peopleās impact on the area, much of which is a SSSI. Iāll post more on this when the caches are live.
The students were filmed by a BBC South Today film crew and the report should go out on the 15th March as part of our contribution to the BBCās School Report project. The project is a good example of using the best tools for a job as pupils blogged about the event to a private Posterous account from our departmentās iPads (a connection made possible by using 3 Ā£G MiFi dongles) and Microsoftās TAG software and well as Photosynth.
well you may call it "using the best tools for the job" I would call it using EXCELLENT planning and high level teaching skills. this all sounds very impressive indeed
