GPS and geocaching can provide educational benefits for students. Geocaching involves using a GPS unit to hide and seek containers called geocaches around the world. Teachers have used geocaching to help students learn skills like map reading, problem solving, and data collection. Some lesson ideas include having students find geocaches containing math problems to solve or clues to collect for a mystery. Geocaching can integrate subjects like geometry, science, and history into outdoor lessons while promoting teamwork, critical thinking, and engagement with technology.

Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts.
