When a loved one is flying, have you ever wished that you could keep track of the location of the plane? Did you ever want to keep track of an elderly parent or your child?<\/p>\n<p>Well, thanks to GPS tracking, you can!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/\">GPS tracking<\/a> is a form of technology that utilizes both location and time to provide data points, or points of location, via satellites that orbit the earth. Formally known as a Global Positioning System, this technology can be used to track virtually anything, &#8211; vehicles, packages, mobile phones, animals, people \u2013 and so much more!<\/p>\n<p>GPS tracking is an invaluable technology, and as such, the US government has developed resources that educators can use to teach their students about these systems, including how they work and how they can be used.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Types of GPS Tracking Teaching Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The government provides a wealth of resources for educators who are teaching their students about GPS tracking. These resources can be used to teach students who are learning about geography, geology, animal research and so many other topics.<\/p>\n<p>One type of GPS educational resources provide by the government is in the form of lesson plans. These lessons offer a clear and concise objective, suggest materials to be used, indicate the size of the group that they are intended for and even provide introductory and closing questions, as well as detailed learning procedures and extended learning activities. Scientific learning standards that are met are also highlighted in each lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the below links for some examples teachers can use to teach GPS technology in their classrooms:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oceanservice.noaa.gov\/education\/lessons\/meet_geodesy.html\">The Science Behind GPS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gps.gov\/multimedia\/tutorials\/trilateration\/\">How to find a position using GPS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oceanservice.noaa.gov\/education\/lessons\/plot_course.html\">Marine Navigation <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once a lesson plan of interest is located, a teacher simply has to download that lesson and print it out. From there, she can acquire the suggested materials and use the lesson as a guide for a lesson on GPS tracking. Of course, the educator can also modify the lesson plans that are provided by the government so that they are customized to the needs and the interests of the teacher\u2019s particular classroom and learners.<\/p>\n<p>GPS tracking is an important technology that is often the topic of lessons in classrooms of all levels. The resources that the government offers makes teaching these lessons easier and ensures that they are hitting key points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered when a package you ordered is going to arrive?
