Location activities are in my opinion a teaching methodologies to consider. A well planned Location game can be very motivating, and they will have a lot of learning (GPS, position system, smartphone as a working tool, content of the subject, etc.), but on the other side they need a technology device (using Byod) and they can be distracted.

They can be done outside, with many tools with maps or directly outside (if the weather let you to do it!) One example for this activities is creating a map with a google drive form. Quite good result for this automated process.

I have posted in my blog some examples of this and other innovative tools, really Motivating for the students.
