QR codes

Today, you will be making a scavenger hunt using QR codes


STEP 1:  Watch the video



STEP 2:  Find out about qr codes https://sites.google.com/a/lshigh.org/gotbooks/qr-codes
and be able to compare them to bar codes.

STEP 3:  Decide what your qr codes will link to:

  • a website
  • a location on google maps
  • a clue (perhaps on twitter or weebly) that will require you to solve a riddle
  • other ideas
Here's how one person figured it out:   http://ilearntechnology.com/?p=4211
Here is another:   http://storify.com/720mi/qr-code-scavenger-hunt  (this includes the video above, as well as other ideas)

STEP 4:  Plan your hunt and make the qrcodes:   http://www.qrstuff.com/ is one maker that is kind of cool, but there are dozens of them out there.

Your QR scavenger hunt must have at least seven clues, which should be saved as .png or .jpg and pasted onto a word document.  Send this to me at the end of the class.
