GooseChase App for Orientation Scavenger Hunts

 

I chose the GooseChase App as a way to update our Orientation Scavenger Hunt assignment.  In the past we have sent students around campus with a sheet of paper to get signatures from the different offices on campus.  By using the GooseChase App, we can eliminate the need to get signatures and disrupt the offices if they are busy.  Students will still have the opportunity to interact with the offices, but by using the app, they will do so in a way that is more engaging for them.  I am pleased with how easy the missions were to set up on the website.  When I logged into the app to complete the missions, the app was easy to navigate and submit answers.  I feel the students will enjoy using this app to complete the Scavenger Hunt assignment.  They will be able to choose to complete the assignment with teams or as an individual.  It will also allow for more time to complete the assignment.  Currently students only have one class period to complete the assignment.  With the app, the students will be able to work on the assignment outside of class.
