**media type="file" key="120328-145904.wmv"media type="file" key="Geocathing.wmv" width="300" height="300"During our class on Wednesday March 21st we participated in a Geocaching activity. During this I learned things about the University of Akron that I did not know while I have been here since fall of 2010. I did not realize that there were so many statues, dedications, and that there was a geocaching set up here on the University. I did not know that the pillars between Olin hall and the Library were a dedications and memorial for the Korean War. Secondly, I learned that the “rock candy” statue has a real name,Chihuly Sculpture. I learned about this statue also and dates that deal with this statue. I also now know about Charles M. Knight, and his connection with the University.**


 * During class we were broken into groups with three or four students. Together as a group we were to complete different tasks to complete one goal. This was an assignment that made students work collaboratively with others in the class. **
 * Standard #5- ** Teachers create learning situations in which students work independently, collaboratively and/or as a whole class.
