IHES Gr. 6 GPS Experience

Hi Grade 6! I hear that you are still working on using the images you took last week when we used the GPS's. That's great, 'cause I was hoping you'd have time to let me know what you thought of our activity. I'd really appreciate it if you could try to answer the questions below.


  1. What was your favorite part of the day?
  2. Were you learning new things during your favorite part of the day or were you using ideas and skills you learned earlier?
  3. How did you and your partners manage to share jobs during the Amazing Race?
  4. What other things could you use a GPS for?
  5. Could you teach someone else how to use a GPS?

PS.- Did you get to see the pictures I took of many of you last week?

Hi,Mr.I
My favorite part of the day was when we did the amazing race/scavenger hunt. Sharing jobs during the amazing race was easy we each did four question. I thought learning about how to use the GPS's was awseome too. I think it what be easy to teach another person about GPS's. That's all I have to say so See Ya Mr.I.

Hi Mr.I.My favorite part of the day was going out in the town and using the gps.During my favorite part of the day i was using the ideas and skills you showed us earlier that day.We did good in sharing one person worked the camra and the other wored the gps for 4 then we switched for the other 4.You could also use a gps for when you are driving in a lot of different ways.Um i could help someone working a gps but doing all the stuff you did i would need some help because if I wait to long I might forget some of the stuff and some other people would remember and also that was the first time i ever used one so I still would make some mistakes if i was teaching it by my self but if i did it with someone eles i could help them teach it.Well mrs.B still has not shown us them yet but she says that she has them.

Sup Mr.I! Dude, the GPS day was KING! I'd Definatly recomend buying a GPS. But, I don't have that kind money! My Favorite part of the day was when we got to go all over town. It was awsome:) I didn't use any of my skills, I used my partner. But he/she didn't help me anyway. My partener didn't like the camera, I didn't like the GPS, so I took the camera and he/she took the GPS! You could use the GPS for cars, hiking, and lots more that I don't know. Yes I got to see the pics you took of me and my partener!

Hi Mr.I my favorite part of the day was going around town. Yes I was learning new things about the GPS's. Once we got to the place we were looking for we switched. It can be used for fishing when it is foggy. Yes I could teach somebody else how to use a GPS.

Hi Mr. I.
My favorite part of the day is when we wen't around town. I had no idea how to use a GPS, but i learn how. My partner and I didn't switch, I didn't want to use the GPS and he did. You could use a GPS for if your lost, if you need to go somewhere and if your exploring. No, i don't think i could teach someone how to use a GPS. i got to see the pictures that you took, ANK

hi
My favorite part is when we went around town and needed to find the names of the places that had clues with it.
I learned lots of stuff about GPS and it was usually fun.
Me and my partner had one thing to do I had the camera and my partner had the GPS.
You can use many stuff by using GPS like wanting to find a way out of a forest and others.
yes it would be fun if you teached it to someone else so they know about it too.

thank you R.H

Hi!!

My favourite part of the day was the Amazing Race, because we got to go all around town and and look for certain buildings. I used some things from earlier in the day and I was also learning new things. During the Amazing Race my Partner and a took turns using the GPS and using the digital camera.
Some other things you can use a GPS for is fishing, hunting, geo cacheing, hiking etc. I think I can teach somebody else how to use a GPS aslong as I remember all of the steps
Thanks for the great experience!

Wow! If i had the kind of money I would consider buying a GPS system. But I don`t.
My Favourtite part of the day was the Amazing race and the hide and seek. You did pretty good at hiding the braclets.
Yes! I was learning new things about GPS cause I didn`t really know anything about them before.
Me and my partner were not really sharing i hogged the GPS and he/she hogged the camera. You could use a GPS for showing how far you went or for fishing,hunting,navigation,hiking ect...
No you prety much now every thing that i know infact more than i know. Yes we got to see the pictures they were cool thanks Mr.I

Mr. I.

We are still talking about our day and all that we learned. Thanks again for all your help. I went and set up an account in geocaching and the class and I were discussing that this afternoon. We will investigate that sight another time. I see I have some long-winded writers. Hope their comments will help you somewhat.

Hi! Mr.I
my favorite part of that day was when we learned how to use them. That is cool how they can tell you how fast u can go. My second part of the day was when we went around town and looked for those things even though i Gps was workin half of the time but it was fun. We didnt get are pictures in on time so we had to use a classmates.
My third part was when we were lookin for those bracelets and we didnt know how to work our gps it was easy after we all knew but i for got after how to use it so we had troubles in the afternoon.
My partner and I didnt share for a while until we found a golf ball so i was playin with it until we got to a place where the gps brought us but it wasn't takin us to the rite place until we found out wat to happen so we got back to schoool.

My favorite part of gps day is when we got to explore the town and use the Gps's all day. Me and my partner helped out each outher by working out the problems together and agreed on directions to go. We could use the Gps for driving in the city and running around town. I could teach some one else to use a Gps. No I dident see the pictures you took of most of us. MB
