The Gecko Arrived!

I’m so excited.  When I heard about the Find the Gecko contest by GEICO.  I immediately went to the website to request a GEICO Gecko Trackable.  Last week I went back to the website and was sad to see that they had all been taken.  Saturday when I checked the mail, I found a letter from Groundspeak.  When I opened it, there he was.  Now I need to figure out where to start his journey.  I am hoping that he will visit all of the 50 states. The cool thing is that I will be able to track his movements.

If you are interested in starting out a Gecko Trackable, you have great news as I just found out on their website.

Great News!  Due to the remarkable demand, GEICO has aggreed to provide another batch of GEICO Gecko Trackable Tags.  We Expect to have them available within the next few weeks, so check back soon for the request form.  We will be sending them out to new homes as soon as we get them.

This is another great activity to do with your students.  Decide what you want to use as a trackable.  Activate it on www.geocaching.com.  You can decide the mission of the trackable that correlates with your curricular objectives.  Easy to do.  Why not give it a try?
