Abstract
Junior/Intermediate teacher candidates were introduced to a geocaching activity (a high-tech scavenger hunt using hand-held GPS devices) that addressed the two principal strands from the Social Studies curriculum in Ontario, Canada, namely; (a) Heritage and Citizenship and (b) Canada and World Connections as well as specific expectations from the Mathematics, Health and Physical Education, Language and Literacy, and Science and Technology curriculae. Through a mixed-methods research design, surveys and reflective journal entries were analyzed to determine the attitudes, perspectives, and opinions of teacher candidates. Results have determined that the vast majority of participants found the geocaching experience vastly efficacious and highly valuable. Specifically, participants responded favourably to six principal categories, namely; (a) fun and enjoyment, (b) discovery learning, (c) space and place learning, (d) future application considerations, (e) cross-curricular integration ideas, and (f) social skills application.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
