Welcome to my World Geography Blog

Hey Guys! Welcome to my first ever classroom blog. You guys get to be my guinea pigs this semester because I don't have much blogging experience, but I do love technology and want to use it in my classroom as much as possible. I have already enjoyed your class so much and I am sure each of you will do a great job blogging this semester.

Your first assignment is to sign up on geocaching.com. Make sure you sign up for the free one!
Put in your address and tell me the latitude and longitude coordinates and the name of a cache that is near your house. Have this done before we go on our field trip next Friday. If you go and find the cache you can blog about that too, but it isn't required.
