A year of Geocaching and the educational applications got lost in the excitement. Several possible educational applications. Local history: hide, perhaps as a class, a cache near a local historical marker or location; require the cache description to include a summary of the historically significant details. Physical Education: offer course credit for learners that go geocaching with family/friends and save/upload/share their GPS tracks ported to Google Earth to show where they've been. Team Building: divide into teams to find multicaches on campus that require teams to interact and share knowledge to be successful.
