I just came across your amazing blog from a column I posted at mediashift.org.

I’m a retired printer and a full time blogger in the States.

The short story is that I’m on a bit of tear to replace high school textbooks in the States with print on demand paper documents with QR codes. I still have to go through your blog to see if what I’m looking for has emerged in Australia. My thought is thought is that a non-textbook could be tfilled with images that could replicate in the classrom what you’ve done in the outside world.

What may not be well known in the world of teachers is that the print technology exists to relatively easily make this and many other kinds of teaching tools available.

At any rate, thank you for doing this blog.

I agree that the implications for this in education are amazing – it could totally revamp the humble school excurision There was an article about QR codes in the Sydney Morning Herald http://www.smh.com.au/news/technology/qr-codes-are-coming/2008/06/13/1213321620646.html that inspired me! Mind you I have been to busy to try it out …. well may be next year.

And yes I stayed in your hometown only a couple of weeks ago – the kidstown playground was a huge hit with my two boys

Given that you are an PE teacher, the first thought I had was hey he should use these QR’s for an orienteering activity. When the students scan the code it gives them the directions for the next point. But that is a fairly similar idea to your tresure hunt idea.

My phone does not have a camera, and it’s not got internet capabilities either so I can’t unravel your QR which means I can’t win your chocolates. but I’m surprised to hear a PE teacher uses chocolate to motivate his audience. I thought that was something you guys just did not do!

Interesting application of the technology here – I must say that’s what I enjoy about your posts – not just the tools, but how they might be used. I’ll definitely need to think about this more. Out os interest, how were they being used at Surfers?
