Rubric for Assessing Authentic Learning Opportunities

Rubric for Assessing Active Learning Opportunities

Learning through Geocaching ,[object Object],[object Object],Although I'm caching in an area that I've lived for over 40 years, I've been astounded to find local history that I was unaware of in approximately 1/3 of the caches I've found. That knowledge has motivated me to discover more knowledge about my hometown and I'm planning cache hides based on that Only 4% mentioned learning as a reason they started Geocaching

Intentional learning after the event ,[object Object],[object Object],A local cache led us to finding out more about a now disused and removed railway branch line. Caches done often inspire caches we will place in future After visiting 3 earth caches I have been inspired to create 2 of my own as I think they are an easy way to learn about geology. They have also encoraged me to visit new places.

Learning in order to teach others ,[object Object],Always try and set my caches at an historical site and try to include a bit of history to read up on, how the area looked previously etc As puzzle caches they will have to research either famous local people, learn about worshipful companies, learn certain song lyrics, pick a lock, or even research Thomas the Tank engine. I like variety.
