"Here are 10 QR readers for your iPad - all bar one for Free. QR Code scanners can be lots of fun in the classroom. We have used them to generate discussion around types of data, presented classroom information as well as presenting clues to treasure hunts. The treasure hunt idea is always a popular way to finish a unit of work. We normally use QR codes to give hints to the next clue or to the location of the clues. The students have to use the information from the unit of work to solve the clues along the way. Lots of fun, lots of laughs and lots of learning.

"Have you ever seen those black and white squares that seem to be everywhere and wondered what all the rage is about? These are QR codes and they have such awesome possibilities for an AI Classroom."
"This is the second year that our 4th graders have created superhero posters with QR code audio stories attached. This project is a perfect blend of art, technology, and writing. Our 4th graders remembered listening to these stories last year, so they were highly motivated to create interesting characters, attractive posters, and clever stories."
Here's a snapguide for how to create a QR code to an ibook. This would let you put a link in a slide or on a page that would immediately take one to an ibook. (You can do this for kindle books too but would just use the URL as you can't buy inside the Kindle app on the ipad because Amazon and Apple couldn't come to terms on Apple's cut. You can just go to the Amazon webpage for the kindle and when it opens in safari, a person can buy and download from there.)
Very cool bingo cards- you enter the words- it generates random bingo cards with those words on it- to geek out make QR code for the URL and you get a different bingo card each time it is accessed eg http://bingobaker.com/pdf/10317
A review by Mark van t 'Hooft of the NECC09 SIGML (mobile Learning) field trip in Washington DC.
"Your task is to come up with a compelling argument that demonstrates the importance of the World War II Memorial today.
Use your mobile phones to access supplementary digital content, using the QR codes in this booklet. In addition, you may use your mobile phone to collect evidence in and around the memorial. We will leave it up to you as to how you want to do that.
