Geocaching Education Materials Shop

[+LutherNation]

Would you like to see a Geocaching.com Shop dedicated to programs and resources for teachers to purchase?

 

I would like to gauge interest and get feedback on whether this would be useful to you or not.

 

Thank you,

While I'm not a teacher, I think it would be a great idea. I'm fairly new, but love it when I get comments on my caches from teacher or cub scout leaders. I think the addition would be a good resource.

Only for teachers? No. I think a shop/section in the current shop containing stuff for groups with a little bit of educational materials would be great. Teachers, boy scouts/girl guides, interpretive programs/nature parks. I think it would be great for Provincial/State parks and other people to have access to something like this. Possibly even for us regular cachers to have access on some educational materials we could have for when we do events for new people, or at a booth in a trade show or something.

This might dove-tail with Scouting and Geocaching Merit Badge stuff.

Thank you for the ideas and input!

My 8 year old son goes to small private school and I'm going to be helping them set up a cache in the nice little park that is just behind the school. In addition to teaching about the game of geocaching I'm also going give a presentation on the "science behind geocaching". It would include some basic information about mapping and coordinate systems, how GPS works (at a basic level), and not just "how geocaching works."
