I'm gearing up for Geography Awareness Week 2011 with an emphasis on the theme: Explore the Adventure in Your Community. The folks over at The Geography Collective have created cool MISSIONS to get you out and about...exploring your community. Also, Daniel Raven-Ellison, one of their geographers, is stopping by the NCGE Webinar program to show off what they're up to!If you want to get outside and discover something new, try these GPS-enabled activities with your students, family and friends!

- Earthcaching www.earthcaching.com
- Confluencing www.confluence.org

Bottom line, get out in the fresh air and explore your world!
