GPS
One of the topics I am covering with my ITGS students is GPS or global positioning system. We are looking at how these tools link into business and employment and some of the issues that may be associated with these. Particularly:
- privacy
- accuracy
- reliability
- accessability
Some of the resources we are using are:
- wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS
- howstuffworks - http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gps.htm - includes a simple video
- Garmin’s GPS Academy - http://www8.garmin.com/gpsacademy/ - interactive resource
- US Coastguard GPS resources - http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/faq/gpsfaq.htm
- US Government GPS page - http://www.gps.gov/

Just for fun what about a little geocache or two.
We are tracking this little fella who came from Wales and has recently left Alabama on his journey around USA.
