...create a quiz on this site, and print out the QR codes which provide students with the directions and the questions via a series of QR codes. You can cut them apart and have a treasure hunt or simply give the students the codes and allow them to answer the questions by scanning the QR code with their mobile device.

This is from the website's About page: "The world is now more social. We share, we like, we tweet, retweet, link and generally exchange information on the social web.

By connecting into your social networks, Trunk.ly monitors and collects the links that you find interesting across the social web. More importantly, it indexes the web pages these links point to and builds a personal search engine, so you never have to tag or describe a link again, you just search and Trunk.ly will find it again for you."
