Russell Tarr, of the excellent Classtools.net website has added yet another great tool to the website. A QR treasure hunt generator. All you need to do is input a text file with 10 questions on it, and the software generates the codes for you.

Students use a mobile device with a QR code reader app on it. When decoded, each QR code gives a question that the students need to answer. Put the codes around the classroom/school for them to find.

The site also links to some good websites with other ideas for using QR codes in the classroom.

How could you use this in the classroom? Take a look at the examples on the site for some ideas.

If you’ve tried it with your class leave a comment and tell us how it went.
