I found a trackable and am going to move it to a different location. I logged it here but how do I log it when I drop it off to the next location?

I just want to reassure you guys that I talk with my principal all the time and we have nothing but the safety and security of the student we teach in mind. We briefly chatted about this and would never make things public so other can come onto the school property. What we normally do is form a committee and discuss these types of ideas to the fullest extent we eliminate anything that could put children in danger especially with all the school things going on. I do have 3 children of my own and would never do anything to put them as well as my students in harms way. If we did do something like this it would be kinda like an Easter egg hunt but just for our school and our students only. There would be no tracker for anybody to come onto the property. Just wanted to clarify all that. We do fully exhaust all good and bad things that could happen before we decide to do anything.

Thank you guys for the great information. I will definitely be using your advice and some of the information found on the site.

I work for a school district at the lower elementary K-2 and I am throwing around the idea of GeoCaching in my building throughout our campus. I approached the principal about it and he told me I need to do more reading and get more info and that he likes the idea. This is what I want to do. I want to purchase some GPS instruments for my building 2-4 of them. Then I want to create a couple of cach's to place around our campus so the teachers and students can find them and work on the assignment that is in there or put together something and the class that has gotten all the the things throughout the whole year will win a prize. With their being security issues and all kinds of things going on at schools I am worried about safety. These things will more than likely be placed around areas like sporting complexes and stuff like that. What do you guys think and suggest if this ends up as a thing for our school?

Thank you for all of your answers. I great appreciate them. Speaking of the app, which I am going to look into, how much data does it use when it comes to a data plan or does it just run off a satellite? My phone is about 2 1/2 to 3 years old so it is a dinosaur compared to everything out there.

I honestly don't know where to start. I was talking to somebody last night and they mentioned GeoCaching in our conversation. Honestly I did not know what it was just heard the term a couple times before. I got to researching it and found out that it is a pretty neat thing to be doing. So it got me thinking. How do I get started and what type of GPS thing would be good? I think it would be great to get my kids involved with and start with the easier cach and move to the harder ones when they get older. They might come to really enjoy it and I think that it could be something our family would really enjoy. We are outside a bunch and love to travel. The bad thing is that I am on a very tight budget so when it comes to the GPS tracker I don't know what I should get. Do you guys have any advice?
