GPS

Some difficulties we experienced were ending up on the wrong side of a building. Others consisted of finding the cache once we arrived in the area. Those seemed to be really the only problems. This sort of activity can definitely be used with geography, any treasure hunting activities (these can be used to hide pieces of a puzzle for a research project, etc).

Delicious

Using Delicious in the classroom can be as simple as a tool for storing a collection of specific websites for a certain project, to an online scavenger hunt. I may consider using Delicious in the classroom to provide a simple list of links for my students to use while researching a specific subject. I can also see this being used as a tool for WebQuests, using the same method as previously described.
