According to the folks at Edudemic, “a high quality hunt should have the goal of inspiring learning, creative thinking, reasoning, and qualitative assessment.” Student engagement and active learning are the big goals too.  Sounds very much like information literacy to me and lots of fun too. In an effort to get your scavenger hunt jump-started, this guide offers  a few useful tech tools that might be of use. They range from devices to apps to other blog posts on the subject. Read the Edudemic blog post to link to lesson plans and simple ideas to further explore this fascinating idea. If you develop a digital scavenger hunt, we’d love to hear about it and share with our readers…..let us know at cmle@stcloudstate.edu and thanks for sharing!
