More GPS

With many of my S3 class away on the Biology fieldtrip today, my Standard Grade class was a little thin on the ground. I took the opportunity to try the GPS activity that Colin Borthwick has been developing for the department with them. The activity involved mapping the school and seems to go well. Although there was a problem when one member of the group had their GPS set to Latitude and Longitude rather than the national Grid. This will be something that we need to add to the help sheet.

Noel Jenkins from Digital Geography has also been coming up with lots of new GPS ideas. Have a look at his new article here.
