So, he proposed an alternative to simple geocaching, called \u201cBipper,\u201d as geocaching has many limitations and rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, many teachers use it, especially in France. He gives the example of a kayaking instructor who \u201cworks in a geographically limited area of a cove, where, in pairs, participants are invited to find Bipper beacons using their smartphones while kayaking,\u201d he describes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The University of Aix-Marseille used Bipper to introduce its campus by placing beacons at key locations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Ch\u00e2lons-sur-Sa\u00f4ne, a treasure hunt was organized with a Latin teacher, \u201cto help students discover the Gallo-Roman passage.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, Bipper can be used to explore a place or landscape, but also for physical education, for orienteering courses, \u201cwhere teachers can combine their IOF map with the Bipper.be site to verify passage at the beacon,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skills developed include spatial structuring, coordination, and collaboration, as well as strategy to complete the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What reassures teachers is that the app allows them to track students remotely. \u201cIt\u2019s also a time-saver for teachers who don\u2019t have to place the beacons before the activity; they can do everything from their desk!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No app needs to be downloaded to your smartphone; you just need to enable geolocation on your web browser. It\u2019s recommended to test the system before starting the \u201cbig hunt\u201d by setting up two beacons around the school, \u201cwhich helps identify students who have properly set up their phones,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe major advantage of the tool is that teachers can create their own hunts on Bipper.be,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipper.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">www.bipper.be<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At LUDOVIA#BE, which took place in Spa, Wallonia, from October 22 to 24, 2024, we met several \u201cgems.\u201d Over the coming weeks, you\u2019ll be able to explore a curated selection of articles and short videos that we hope will inspire your current and future projects.
