Welcome to Outdoor Culture and Technology,
//Have Some Fun Exploring Your World// [|physiotherapy Richmond Hill]
 * This wiki is a resources site for students taking Mr. Cooper's Outdoor Culture and Technology course. The class covers the outdoors and the technologies that are used to explore our world. Here, students learn about the satellites that make up our global positional system ([|GPS] ), handheld devices, and various mapping technologies that are used by outdoor enthusiasts. A survey of extreme sports, geographic hotspots, traditional cultures, expedition psychology, team dynamics and advances in wilderness medicine, are addressed as they pertain to various milestones in expedition history and the development of climbing, hiking, hunting, kayaking, racing, sailing, and surfing technologies. Feel free to join our space and use the information in your classes. If you use any of this information, please give the appropriate attribution. These topics are a great way to create an interdisciplinary, multicultural course that will help stimulate interest in the environment, modern technology, medicine and psychology. || media type="custom" key="624583" ||

**New Expedition layer in [|Google Earth Pro] created by students. Students read various books on historical expeditions and programmed them into Google Earth.
